The main difference in the phenomenon of interference and diffraction in light waves is that

  • A
    Diffraction is due to interaction of light from same wavefront,whereas the interference is the interaction of two waves derived from the same source
  • B
    Diffraction is due to interaction of light from the same wave-front whereas interference is the interaction of waves from two isolated sources
  • 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 reflected waves from a source whereas interference is caused due to refraction of waves from a surface

Two slits are $1 \,mm$ apart and the screen is located $1 \,m$ away from the slits. $A$ light of wavelength $500 \,nm$ is used. The width of each slit to obtain $10$ maxima of the double slit pattern within the central maximum of the single slit pattern is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \times 10^{-4} \,m$.
