A single slit diffraction experiment is performed with microwaves of a single wavelength. Sensors which can detect these microwaves are placed beyond the barrier with the slit and show that the width of the central "bright" region is 5 cm. The experiment is repeated with infrared, ultraviolet and x - rays. In each experiment the sensors (which can sense that wavelength) are placed the same distance to the barrier with the slit and only the slit width is adjusted until the central "bright" region has a width of 5 cm. For which type of waves must the slit width be greatest?
