Light of frequency f illuminating a long narrow slit produces a diffraction pattern.

For a single-slit experiment,

$伪\sin 胃=m位$where $m=1,鈥�2,鈥�3,...$ (minima)

Here, $位$is wavelength.

Increasing the frequency of the light will result in larger values of wavelength.

(a)

If the frequency is increased to 1.3f from f, then wavelength will increase as increasing the frequency of the light will result in larger values of wavelength.

So wavelengths are higher.

Also from the equation given above, wavelength and the angles to the minima $胃$are inversely proportional. Increasing the wavelength will decrease the angles to the minima.

This will result in more tighter and hence contracted pattern

(b)

On submergence of experiment in corn syrup, the light would go through a material with a higher index of refraction.

So, all the light will bend in a direction perpendicular to the slit.

This results in contracted pattern.
