Diffraction pattern becomes narrower

Recall the term ( ROYBGIV )

R - red ( diffracted most )

O - orange

Y - yellow

B - blue

G - green

I - indigo

V - violet ( diffracted least )

  • As we go down the group, the diffraction decreases/becomes narrower
  • Diffraction increases with the increase in wavelength and vice versa
