In the Fraunhofer diffraction experiment, $L$ is the distance between the screen and the obstacle, $b$ is the size of the obstacle, and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the incident light. The general condition for the applicability of Fraunhofer diffraction is:

For what distance is ray optics a good approximation when the aperture is $4 \, mm$ wide and the wavelength is $500 \, nm$ (in $, m$)?

The distance for which ray optics becomes a good approximation for an aperture of $0.3 \ cm$ and a light of wavelength $6000 \ Å$ is (in $m$)

The angular separation of the central maximum in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is measured. The slit is illuminated by light of wavelength $6000 Å$. If the slit is illuminated by light of another wavelength,the angular separation decreases by $20 \%$. The wavelength of light used is (in $Å$)
