2 2.5 Monochromatic blue light is shone through a single narrow slit, and the diffracted light is observed on a screen. If the blue light is replaced by monochromatic green light, while the width of the slit remains constant, then A alternating green and black bands, of equal length, will be observed B a broad central band, larger than that of the red light, will be observed C a broad central band, equal to that of the red light, will be observed D a broad central band, smaller than that of the red light, will be observed. 2.6 Atomic spectra provide evidence that: A light has a wave nature B electrons exist in fixed energy levels in atoms of an element, but can transit to higher or lower energy levels C the nuclei of atoms can be split under the action of light D light has a dual nature. 2.7 The leaves of a charged zinc electroscope will collapse under the action of blue light.
