What should be the width of each slit to obtain maxima of the double slit interference pattern within the central maximum of single slit diffraction pattern? Can you explain it Share with your friends Share 0 Anshu Agrawal answered this Solution: the slit width-wavelength relation is given as aθ = λ where a is the slit width θ is the angular separation and λ is the wavelength so, θ = λ/a now, in this case we have width of each slit = width of double maxima so, 2(λ/d) = 2(λ/a) or a = d 0 View Full Answer
