Circle and correct the statements below that are false about diffraction. Justify your corrections. (a) Diffraction of light is evidence that we can treat light as a particle. (b) For single slit diffraction, constructive interference of light will present as dark spots on screen. (c) For single slit diffraction, as the wavelength of the light decreases, the diffraction pattern shrinks with all fringes getting narrower. (d) When λ/w is large in this scenario [λ >> w], there are little to no effects of diffraction observed. (e) All of the above statements are true.

please reexplain this paragraph two-beam interference with the double exciter:the circular waves generated by the double exciter are super- posed at the points where they meet. The areas with no wave motion indicate cancellation (minima).the minima and maxima are positioned along hyperbolas with the excitation centers as focal points. the relationships given in the section h0rinciples” for the positions of the hyperbolas are confirmed experimentally.The interference patterns are determined by the distance be- tween exciters, and by the wavelength. the number of hyperbo- las increases with the exciter spacing and the wavelength, and the hyperbolas open further.
