    A parallel beam of fast moving electrons is incident normally on a narrow slit. A screen is placed at a large distance from the slit. If the speed of the electrons in increased, then the correct statement is

    A)  Diffraction pattern is not observed on the screen in the case of electrons

    B)  the angular width of the central maxima of the diffraction pattern will increase

    C)  the angular width of the central maxima will decrease

    D)  the angular width of the central maxima will remain same

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    For Debroglie equation, \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\]as speed of \[{{e}^{-1}}\] increases, \[\lambda \] decreases. In single slit diffraction pattern, the angular width of the central maxima \[(2\theta ),\] is given by \[\theta =\frac{\lambda }{a}\]where a is width of slit. As \[\lambda \] decreases, \[\theta \] decreases
