The position of the direct image obtained at , when a monochromatic beam of light is passed through a plane transmission grating at normal incidence is shown in figure. The diffracted images and correspond to the first, second and third order diffraction. When the source is replaced by another source of shorter wavelength

If is the distance between slits and is the angle between order maxima and order maxima, then for diffraction pattern
Now, if the source is replaced by another source of shorter wavelength, then becomes smaller. Therefore, the angle of diffraction for all orders reduces due to which the pattern shrinks and images move towards the normal, not diffracted beam.
Hence, the images C,B and A will shift towards O
