Question 21

Multiple Choice

Monochromatic light is normally incident on a diffraction grating. The mth order line is at a angle of diffraction angle θ\theta and has width w. A wide single slit is now placed in front of the grating and its width is then slowly reduced. As a result:


A) both θ\theta and w increase
B) both θ\theta and w decrease
C) θ\theta remains the same and w increases
D) θ\theta remains the same and w decreases
E) θ\theta decreases and w increases
