Multiple Choice
Monochromatic light is normally incident on a diffraction grating. The mth order line is at a angle of diffraction angle 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 and w increase
B) both and w decrease
C) remains the same and w increases
D) remains the same and w decreases
E) decreases and w increases
