For what distance is ray optics a good approximation when the aperture is $4 \, mm$ wide and the wavelength is $500 \, nm$ (in $, m$)?

In the Fraunhofer diffraction experiment, $L$ is the distance between the screen and the obstacle, $b$ is the size of the obstacle, and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the incident light. The general condition for the applicability of Fraunhofer diffraction is:

Fresnel diffraction is produced due to light rays falling on a small obstacle. The intensity of light at a point on a screen beyond an obstacle depends on
