The position of the direct image obtained at $O$,when a monochromatic beam of light is passed through a plane transmission grating at normal incidence,is shown in the figure. The diffracted images $A, B$,and $C$ correspond to the first,second,and third-order diffraction. When the source is replaced by another source of shorter wavelength,then:

Diffraction is more easily noticeable for sound waves than for light waves because sound waves

Two slits are $1 \,mm$ apart and the screen is located $1 \,m$ away from the slits. $A$ light of wavelength $500 \,nm$ is used.
