For blue light the angular width of central diffraction maximum is more than that for red light.
Class 12 Physics Chapter 10 Wave Optics Session 2024-2025.
For a given single-slit, the diffraction pattern is obtained on a fixed screen first by using red light and then with blue light. In which case, will the central maxima, in the observed diffraction pattern, have a larger angular width?

The central maxima will have a larger angular width with red light because red light has a longer wavelength than blue light. The angular width of the central maxima is directly proportional to the wavelength of the light used.
