Question

Difference between interference and diffraction in tabular form

Answer 1

Answer:

Waves that originate from two different, coherent sources produce the property termed as Interference, whereas secondary wavelets that originate from the same wave but occur from different parts of it, produce a phenomenon termed as Diffraction.

Answer 2

$\huge\star\underline\mathfrak\red{Answer:-}$

Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium.

Diffraction refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or a slit. It is defined as the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture.
