How does the angular separation between fringes in a single slit diffraction experiment change when the distance of separation between the slit and screen is doubled?
Solution:
In a single slit experiment, the angular separation is given by θ = λ/a where λ is the wavelength of incident light and a is the slit width. So, it is independent of separation (D) of slit and screen. Thus, the angular separation will be unchanged.
