Write two points of difference between interference and diffraction pattern of light.

A

diffraction is due to interaction of light from the same wavefront, whereas the interference is the interaction of waves from two isolated sources

B

diffraction is due to interaction of light from the same wavefront, whereas the interference is the interaction of two waves derived from the same source

C

diffraction is due to interaction of waves derived from the same source, whereas the interference is the bending of light from the same wavefront

D

diffraction is caused by the reflected waves from a source, whereas interference is caused due to refraction of waves from a source

The main difference in diffraction and interference is that

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.
