Diffraction effects are easier to notice in the case of sound waves than in the case of light waves because

Yellow light is used in a single slit diffraction experiment with a slit width of $0.6 \, mm$. If the yellow light is replaced by $X$-rays,then the pattern will reveal:

Assertion : When a tiny circular obstacle is placed in the path of light from some distance,a bright spot is seen at the centre of the shadow of the obstacle.
Reason : Destructive interference occurs at the centre of the shadow.
