To observe diffraction, the size of an aperture

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Should be of the same orders wavelength should be much larger than the wavelength

The correct answer is A (Should be of the same orders wavelength should be much larger than the wavelength) because diffraction is most prominent when the aperture size is comparable to the wavelength of the wave.
