APFIVE Single-Slit Diffraction Intensity
In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the intensity of the second secondary maximum is 1/25 of the central maximum intensity. What can be concluded about the width of the slit in relation to the wavelength of light used?
A
The slit width is approximately 25 times the wavelength
B
The slit width is approximately 1/5 of the wavelength
C
No definitive conclusion can be drawn because the relative intensities of secondary maxima are independent of slit width
D
The slit width equals the wavelength
