The relationship between aperture (slit) size, wavelength, and resulting diffraction patterns is a fundamental axiom of wave optics described by classical diffraction theory, requiring no citation.

The analysis

The claim states a foundational principle of wave mechanics and optics (that the size of an aperture relative to the wavelength of a wave determines its diffraction pattern). This is a well-established textbook fact and common knowledge in physics, so no papers need to be attached.
