Question

Diffraction of white light with a single slit produces bright lines of different colors.What is the color of the central image?

Answer 1

white

Step-by-step explanation:

This experiment causes lines of different colors because the constructive interference depends on the wavelength, so for different wavelength, the position of the maximum will be different.

Now, in diffraction fo a single slit we always have a central maximum (for all the colors)

This means that after the diffraction, we will have that all the colors have a maximum in the center, which will produce white light again, then the color of the central image is white
