Question
In a diffraction pattern due to a single slit, how will the angular width of central maximum change, if
a. Orange light is used in place of green light,
b. the screen is moved closer to the slit,
c. the slit width is decreased?
Justify your answer in each case.

Answer

angular width of central maxima of a single slit diffraction is given as $2 \theta=\frac{2 \lambda}{a}$
a. As $\lambda$ increases (orange light has greater wave length) diffraction angle $2 \theta$ will also increase.
b. Increasing or decreasing closeness of screen and slit does not affect angular width.
c. If a (slit width) decreases, $2 \theta$ will increase as $2 \theta \propto \frac{1}{a}$

Figure shows a metallic rod PQ of length l, resting on the smooth horizontal rails AB positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Assume the magnetic field to be uniform. Given the resistance of the closed-loop containing the rod is R.

i. Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed v in the direction shown. Find the polarity and magnitude of induced emf.
ii. With K open and the rod moving uniformly, there is no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ even though they do experience a magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain.
iii. What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular?
