How does wavelength affect diffraction angles in single and double slits?

seto6 · Nov 12, 2010

THIS IS NOT A HOMEWORK QUESTION...been a while since i did these type of question...just want to refresh my memory...before i forget it.

i have a few question...
1) in a single slit: if the wave length is large then...does it mean that the scattering is large or small angle?

2) in a double slit: if the wave length is large then...does it mean that the scattering is large or small angle?

Larger wavelength, more splitting
