Q130 / 180 · COMEDK 2018 · Physics

Maximum diffiaction takes place in a given shit for

A
$\gamma$-rays
B
ultraviolet light
C
infrared light
Correct answer
D
radio waves

Solution

Greater is the wavelength of wave higher will be its degree of diffraction, since radiowave has maximum wavelength, hence maximum diffraction takes place in a given slit for radio waves.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
