To observe diffraction, the size of the obstacle
Options
- Ahas no relation to wavelength.
- Bshould be ( / 2 ), where ( ) is the wavelength.
- Cshould be much larger than the wavelength.
- Dshould be of the order of wavelength.
Correct answer
D. should be of the order of wavelength.
Step-by-step solution
Diffraction is phenomena of spreading of light around obstacles. Diffraction of light occurs when light passes through a slit that has size of the order of wavelength of light or evensmaller than it.
