What is the standard Diameter for the wire. This one is from my lab of diffraction of a light from a single slit and on a wire.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Diffraction of light is the bending or spreading of light waves as they pass through an opening or around an obstacle. This phenomenon is a result of the wave nature of light.
In a single slit experiment, when a beam of light passes through a narrow slit, the waves diffract and spread out, creating a pattern of alternating bright and dark fringes on a screen placed behind the slit.
The width of the slit affects the diffraction pattern. A narrower slit will result in a wider diffraction pattern, while a wider slit will result in a narrower diffraction pattern.
When the wavelength of light is changed, the spacing between the fringes of the diffraction pattern also changes. This is because the spacing is directly proportional to the wavelength of light.
Yes, diffraction can also occur on a wire. When a beam of light is shone onto a thin wire, the light waves bend and spread out, creating a diffraction pattern on a screen placed behind the wire.
