PASSAGE
A beam of monochromatic light with wavelength λ passes through a narrow slit of width a, producing a single-slit diffraction pattern on a distant screen. A student claims: *'The uncertainty in the photon's transverse momentum after passing through the slit is on the order of h/a, consistent with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.'*
Which of the following best evaluates the student's claim in terms of photon momentum concepts?
