MCQ
Visible light passing through a circular hole forms a diffraction disc of radius $0.1\ mm$ on a screen. If an $X-$ray is passed through the same setup, the radius of the diffraction disc will be:
  • A
    zero
  • $< 0.1\ mm$
  • C
    $0.1\ mm$
  • D
    $> 0.1m$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$< 0.1\ mm$

Radius of the diffraction disc is directly proportional to the wavelength of the light used for the given hole. We know that the wavelength of an $X-$ray is less than the wavelength of visible light. If an $X-$ray is passed through the same setup, the radius of the diffraction disc will be less than $0.1m.$
