Question
If light goes through a single slit, what will be the pattern that will appear on the target screen? (1 point)
An alternating set of bright and dark bands of light will appear on the target screen
A large bright band will appear directly across from the slit, that gets dimmer farther away from the center
Two large bright bands will appear on the target screen, with less bright bands in between them
Two large bright bands appear very distant from each other on the target with nothing but dark bands in
between them

When light passes through a single slit, the pattern that appears on the target screen will be:
**A large bright band will appear directly across from the slit, that gets dimmer farther away from the center.**
This results from the diffraction of light, where the central maximum is the brightest and widest band, with decreasing intensity and narrower bands on either side forming the subsequent maxima.
**A large bright band will appear directly across from the slit, that gets dimmer farther away from the center.**
This results from the diffraction of light, where the central maximum is the brightest and widest band, with decreasing intensity and narrower bands on either side forming the subsequent maxima.
