Question

In observing the diffraction pattern of a laser beam, you notice that the laser beam passes forward through a single slit with almost no spherical diffraction. What does this tell you about the wavelength of the laser with respect to the slit size? the slit size is much larger than the wavelength of light the slit size is almost exactly the same size as the wavelength of light the slit size is much smaller than the wavelength of light this cannot be determined without knowing the distance from the slit to the screen
