JEE MAIN - Physics (2008 - No. 5)

In an experiment, electrons are made to pass through a narrow slit of width $$'d'$$ comparable to their de Broglie wavelength. They are detected on a screen at a distance $$'D'$$ from the slit (see figure). AIEEE 2008 Physics - Dual Nature of Radiation Question 185 English

Which of the following graphs can be expected to represent the number of electrons $$'N'$$ detected as a function of the detector position $$'y'\left( {y = 0} \right.$$ corresponds to the middle of the slit$$\left. \, \right)$$

AIEEE 2008 Physics - Dual Nature of Radiation Question 185 English Option 1
AIEEE 2008 Physics - Dual Nature of Radiation Question 185 English Option 2
AIEEE 2008 Physics - Dual Nature of Radiation Question 185 English Option 3
AIEEE 2008 Physics - Dual Nature of Radiation Question 185 English Option 4

Explanation

The electron beam will be diffracted and the maxima is obtained at $$y=0.$$ Also the distance between the first minima on both side will be greater than $$d.$$
