**I would have posted on ask physics but i couldn't upload images and idk how to format formulas**

I am learning about diffraction and we learnt that diffraction only happens if the gap or obstruction is of similar size or smaller than the wavelength of the wave, but this formula seems to make it like there can be a diffraction at any size of slit or obstruction. Theta is the angle of diffraction, lambda is wavelength and a is slit size.
