Suppose you shine a laser on a single slit. The light from the single slit propagates to a screen that is far away compared to the slit width. Will the spacing between minima on the screen increase, decrease, or stay the same if the following variables are changed: Slit width is increased? The distance from the flit to the screen is increased? The laser is switched from red to blue? (i.e. wavelength increased) The system is placed in a medium of glass, rather than air?

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
