उत्तर
Difference between Interference and Diffraction
Interference occurs due to superposition of two distinct waves coming from two coherent sources of light. The diffraction occurs as a result of the secondary wavelets coming from different parts of the same wavefront.
In the pattern of the interference, all the bright fringes have same intensity. In a diffraction pattern, all the bright fringes are not of the same intensity.

In a Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 micron (1 micron = 10−6 m) is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the screen and the slits is doubled. It is found that the distance between the successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe-shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment.
