Wave passing through a single slit it becomes twice as width of the central maximum of its diffraction pattern as the slit is made half as wide.
The central maximum lies between the first-order minima defined by the relation sinθ dark =mλ/a=λ/a. Because the angle is small, sinθ dark ≈tanθ dark =y dark/L, so the width of the central maximum is proportional to Lλ/a. Thus, the central maximum becomes twice as wide if the slit width a becomes half as wide.
In order to enter the region of geometric shadow cast by the obstruction or aperture, waves must interact with one another or bend around its edges, which is referred to as diffraction. A secondary source of the wave that is propagating is in fact created by the diffracting item or aperture. The term "diffraction" was originally used in 1660 by the Italian scientist Francesco Maria Grimaldi, who was also the first to make precise observations of the phenomena.
On the registration plate, an infinite number of spots (three are illustrated) along length d project phase contributions from the wave front, resulting in a constantly changing intensity.
