SINGLE SLIT DIFFRACTION - Q6

6) In present experiment what kind of diffraction occurs and how?
Ans: Fraunhofer diffraction occurs in this experiment.
The light rays from the source are made parallel using lenses in the laser. Now, optically source and screen are at very large distance. Clearly, plane wave fronts strike the slit. So, Fraunhofer diffraction occurs in this experiment.
