The pattern of the spots that would be observed on the screen.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Diffraction refers to a phenomenon where in light bends at the edge of an object due to which some of the light can be observed in the shadow region as well. When light passes through a diffraction grating, a pattern composed of light and dark bands can be observed on the screen.
The amount by which light diffracts depends on the
Since the wavelength of blue light is shorter than that of the yellow light, the diffracted blue light spot would be observed closer to yellow spot i.e. at angle smaller than
