The double-slit pattern is a mix of which two effects?
AReflection and refraction
BDiffraction and interference
CDispersion and scattering
DAbsorption and emission
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Diffraction and interference
Each slit diffracts light, and the two diffracted beams then interfere, so both effects are present.
