Yellow light is used in a single slit diffraction experiment
with slit width of 0.6 mm. If yellow light is replaced by
X-rays, then the observed pattern will reveal
- that the central maximum is narrower
- more number of fringes
- less number of fringes
- no diffraction pattern
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
wavelength of light (or any electromagnetic wave) used.
Here, wavelength of X-rays (1-100 A) << slit width
(0.6 mm). Therefore, no diffraction pattern will be observed.

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____

Reflection of Light
When a light ray falls on any object, it is bounced back from the object. This process is known as the Reflection of light. The light reflected from the object falls into our eyes, making the object visible to us. All the things we see around us are because of reflection.
The reflection of light depends on the type of object. A polished or smooth surface reflects most of the light falling on it, while a rough surface absorbs some amount of light and reflects back the rest of the light. The direction of reflected rays depends upon the surface of the object.
