As we learned
Diffraction -
The phenomenon of bending of light around the corners of an obstacle of the size of the wavelength of light is called diffraction.
- The phenomenon resulting from the superposition of secondary wavelets originating from different parts of the same wavefront is defined as a diffraction of light.
- Diffraction is the characteristic of all types of waves.
- The wavelength of the wave is directly proportional to its degree of diffraction.
Condition for Diffraction:
- The essential condition for diffraction to occur is that the wavelength of light should be comparable to that of the size of the obstacle.
Therefore option-3 is the correct option.
