Diffraction | Interference |
The phenomenon of interaction of light coming from different parts of the same wave front is called diffraction. | The phenomenon of non uniform distribution of light energy (wave) due to the superposition of coherent sources of light is called interference. |
In diffraction, the widths of fringes are not equal. | In interference, the width of fringes are equal. |
Bands are very less in number. | Bands are very large in number. |
Dark fringes in diffraction are not completely dark. | Dark fringes in interference are perfectly dark. |
