Ratio of intensities in consecutive maxima in a diffraction pattern due to a single slit is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

1: \frac{4}{9 \pi^2}: \frac{4}{25 \pi^2}

Option D (

1: \frac{4}{9 \pi^2}: \frac{4}{25 \pi^2}

) is correct because the intensities of the secondary maxima in single-slit diffraction decrease rapidly and are proportional to the inverse square of the sine of the angle.
