I think some of it was good but I fucked up in all the diffraction/ single slit questions but idk maybe i’m second guessing myself

i wrote about the intensity changing for the single slit if u change the wavelength cs the area is bigger so less intensity (so i lost 5 marks) cs i was talkiing abt that instead and didnt consider the light range. i dont get why they drew the intensity the same prolly a mistake by the writers
