I
Here you need to draw labelled diagram of source of light, apparatus to diffract/interfere and how to observe it.
To observe the diffraction the light must be perpendicular to the slit and the screen must be long distance from slit
to observe. we will decrease slit separation(in (ii) ) and slit width in (i) part.
(i) when we will decrease it, the the spot will start to spread into geometric shadows. along the bright big spot a few fringes will also be observed but they will be dim.
(ii) the fringe seperation will increase. alternate bright and dark fringes will be produced.

correct. but i drew it to make it easy for you to understand. i always use cosine rule or Pythagoras theorem unless examiner himself says to draw scale drawing.
i also said at the end to use cosine rule. that diagram was for concept.

Okay here's a questio!
A beam of alpha particles produces a current of 1.5 pA. Calculate the number of alpha particles per second passing a point in the beam. And please explain as well
