Which of the following statements are correct with reference to single slit diffraction pattern?
$(I)$ The central maxima is twice as wide as the secondary maxima.
$(II)$ The intensity of secondary maxima decreases as we move away from the central maxima.
$(III)$ The width of the central maxima is independent of the slit width.
$(IV)$ The intensity of the central maxima is the same as that of the secondary maxima.

$A$ monochromatic light of wavelength $6000 \text{ Å}$ is incident on a single slit of width $0.01 \text{ mm}$. If the diffraction pattern is formed at the focus of a convex lens of focal length $20 \text{ cm}$, the linear width of the central maximum is: (in $\text{ mm}$)

Which of the following are true for a single slit diffraction?
$(A)$ Width of central maxima increases with increase in wavelength keeping slit width constant.
$(B)$ Width of central maxima increases with decrease in wavelength keeping slit width constant.
$(C)$ Width of central maxima increases with decrease in slit width at constant wavelength.
$(D)$ Width of central maxima increases with increase in slit width at constant wavelength.
$(E)$ Brightness of central maxima increases for decrease in wavelength at constant slit width.

The condition for obtaining secondary maxima in the diffraction pattern due to a single slit is:

What is diffraction? Who discovered it? What kind of waves exhibit the diffraction phenomenon?

In the diffraction pattern of a single slit,the width of the secondary maxima compared to the central maximum is:
