Diffraction is common in sound but not in light waves, why ? .

Because Light Wavelength is actually less than a sound wave. And Diffraction is more in longer wavelength waves, as is less in wider slits. The wavelength of sound is of the order of 1 meter. So any objet visible to the eye can deflect it.

of a wave, the size of particle/obstacle/aperture should be of the order of warve length of wave. Since the average wavelength of visible light is of the order of 10-6 m and obstacle/aperture of this size are rare, therefore, diffraction of light is not common.
But in case of sound, the wave length of waves is 1 -2 m and obstacle/aperture of this size are readily available, therefore diffraction of sound is quite often.
