Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Diffraction of light waves is the bending of light waves around the ends of an obstacle . This illuminates the region where the geometrical shadow of the obstacle is expected. As the light wave encounters the slit, the wave bends and there will be a diffraction of light waves from the slit, and the diffraction pattern can be seen on the screen which is placed far from the slit. The diffraction pattern formed by single slit contains bright and broad central band with dimmer side bands.
The angle of diffraction in single slit diffraction is depend on ratio of the
Where
Above equation specifies that if the light wavelength is raised to
