Problem

Waves passing through a single slit produce a single-slit diffraction pattern on a distant screen. (a) Sketch a diagram to show how the intensity of the waves varies with distance on the screen. (b) What would happen to this diagram if the - i slit width were wider? - ii wavelength of the waves were larger?
