Question

Diffraction effects are more noticeable when the obstacle/aperture size is:

Accepted Answer

B. Comparable to or smaller than the wavelength

**Diffraction:** bending of waves around edges/apertures.
Noticeable when slit width ~ λ.
For visible light (~500 nm), diffraction effects visible only with very narrow slits.
Sound waves (λ ~ m) easily diffract around ordinary obstacles.

Answer

Much larger than wavelength

Answer

Much smaller than nm

Answer

Independent of size

Diffraction effects are more noticeable when the obstacle/aperture size is:
