Question

In single slit diffraction, which type of light wave undergo superimpose?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can define two distinct types of diffraction: (a) Fresnel diffraction is produced when light from a point source meets an obstacle, the waves are spherical and the pattern observed is a fringed image of the object. (b) Fraunhofer diffraction occurs with plane wave-fronts with the object effectively at infinity.
