To observe diffraction, the size of the obstacle

Question

To observe diffraction, the size of the obstacle (A) should be λ/2, where λ is the wavelength (B) should be of the order of wavelength (C) has no relation to wavelength (D) should be much larger than the wavelength

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon of diffraction is observed when the size of obstacle is of the order of wavelength due to wave nature of light.

Q. To observe diffraction, the size of the obstacle

should be $λ /2$ , where $λ$ is the wavelength

should be of the order of wavelength

has no relation to wavelength

should be much larger than the wavelength

The phenomenon of diffraction is observed when the size of obstacle is of the order of wavelength due to wave nature of light.
