what changes in diffraction pattern of a single slit will you observe when the monochromatic source of light is replaced by a source of white light?

When a monochromatic source of light is replaced by a source of white light in single slit diffraction grating, we observe a set of coloured spectra on both sides of the central white band.

if diffraction take place with white light then fringes of different colour will be formed

and we know that B ∝ λ so at the end for eg for red colour over lapping take place since wavelenght of red colour is large
