i don't understand the same order definition.

if both the gap and the wavelength are something in metres x 10^-6 then they are the same order. The order refers to the power on the 10

okay i get the order thing. For significant diffraction to occur, both slit width and wavelength have to have the same order and approximately equal 1 or greater than 1?
and more maximised diffraction, the order doesn't matter but it has to approximately equal 1?

is that right?

thanks heaps everyone!

So basically, for it to be maximized, the ratio has to be approximately 1, but simply for significant diffraction, they have to be of the same order magnitude. And with a wavelength greater than the size of slit the effect is more significant than when the size of slit is greater than the wavelength. got it.

good luck for today!  :D
