  1. A the maxima and minima are broadened and become distance.
  2. B the maxima and minima are narrow and more crowded.
  3. C the pattern does not change.
  4. D diffraction pattern disappears.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) the maxima and minima are broadened and become distance.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) the maxima and minima are broadened and become distance.
diffraction \(\propto \lambda\)
and \(\lambda_{\mathrm{V}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{Y}}\)
diffraction of yellow light will increase so the maxima and minima are broadened and become distance.
