Answer

larger

Work Step by Step

We first consider equation (36-17). $L=\frac{Dd}{1.22 \lambda}$ where D is the diameter of the grains, d is the diameter of the lens, lambda is the wavelength, and L is the distance from the grain. We can see that as $\lambda$ gets smaller, the distance from the grain, L, will get larger.
