उत्तर
The angular width of central maxima of a single slit diffraction pattern is 2θ = `(2λ)/"a"`
Angular width of central maxima ∝ wavelength of light used. Orange light has a higher wavelength than that green light. So, the Angular width of the central maxima will be more when orange light is used instead of green light.
