Physics Wave Optics Diffraction of Light MCQ (Single Correct)

The main difference between the phenomena of interference and diffraction is that –

Diffraction is due to interaction of light from the same wave front, whereas interference is the interaction of waves from two separate sources.

Diffraction is due to superposition of light from the same wave front, whereas interference is due to two waves derived from the same source.

Diffraction is due to two waves derived from the same source, while interference is superposition of light from same wave front.

In both diffraction and interference, number of coherent the same sources is two
