Write the thoughts expressed by Richard Feynman regarding the difference between interference and diffraction.

In an experiment,electrons are passed through a narrow slit of width $d$ equal to their de Broglie wavelength. They are detected on a screen at a distance $D$ from the slit. Which of the following graphs represents the number of electrons $N$ detected as a function of the detector position $y$ ($y = 0$ corresponds to the middle of the slit)?

Red light is generally used to observe the diffraction pattern from a single slit. If blue light is used instead of red light,then the diffraction pattern:

$A$ beam of light of $\lambda = 600 \, nm$ from a distant source falls on a single slit $1 \, mm$ wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen $2 \, m$ away. The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is:

$A$ slit of width $d$ is illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$. The angular width of the central maximum is:
