To observe diffraction,the size of the obstacle

  • A
    has no relation to wavelength.
  • B
    should be $ \lambda / 2 $,where $ \lambda $ is the wavelength.
  • C
    should be much larger than the wavelength.
  • D
    should be of the order of wavelength.

$A$ diffraction pattern is obtained by using a beam of red light. What will happen if the red light is replaced by blue light?

The box of a pinhole camera,of length $L$,has a hole of radius $a$. It is assumed that when the hole is illuminated by a parallel beam of light of wavelength $\lambda$,the spread of the spot (obtained on the opposite wall of the camera) is the sum of its geometrical spread and the spread due to diffraction. The spot would then have its minimum size (say $b_{min}$) when
