Circle and correct the statements below that are false about diffraction. Justify your corrections. (a)  Diffraction of light is evidence that we can treat light as a particle. (b)  For single slit diffraction, constructive interference of light will present as dark spots on screen. (c)  For single slit diffraction, as the wavelength of the light decreases, the diffraction pattern shrinks with all fringes getting narrower.
