What kind of diffraction is observed in a case of white light?

If we remember that bending of light at the edge of an obstacle or the effect produced by limited portion of wavefront is called diffraction then the extent to which diffraction occurs depends on the ratio (Lambda/d). Where d is width of slit or linear dimension of obstacle and (Lambda) is wave length. read more

So, red light will have maximum bending in white light and violet light will have least diffraction in white light. Rest of the colors blue ,green, yellow, orange will experience diffraction in increasing order. read more

Here is white-light diffraction pattern, compared with that for green light alone: Notice the central fringe is white - with rainbow fringes to either side. The green in the rainbow corresponds to the location of the green-light fringes. read more

When a light falls on the surface of a grating then diffraction patterns are observed on the screen and these diffraction patterns depends up on the path difference between the incident waves. Number of orders is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light(considering width of slit and angle of diffraction are constant). read more
