Interference and Diffraction

Intensity variation in single slit exp. | interference and diffraction | limit of resolution

Assertion : Intensity pattern of interference and diffraction are not same. Reason : When there are few sources of light, then the result is usually called interference but if there is a large number fo them, the word diffraction is more often used.
