26. Ripple tanks were used to perform a series of experiments on diffraction. The following diagrams represent the observations made. Consider the following possible conclusions: 1) As wavelength increases, the amount of diffraction increases. II) As slit width increases, the amount of diffraction decreases. As wavelength increases, the amount of diffraction decreases.
