Diffraction: Practice Problem & Solution

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Diffraction. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Assertion (A) is false; diffraction is the bending of waves, while dispersion is wavelength-dependent refractive index. Reason (R) is false; color separation in diffraction is due to \(\theta \propto \lambda\), not dispersion around corners.
