1. What is the phenomenon called when light waves bend around the edges of an obstacle?

Interference · Diffraction · Refraction · Reflection

2. In Young's double-slit experiment, what is the condition for constructive interference?

Path difference = (n + 1/2)λ · Path difference = nλ · Path difference = λ/2 · Path difference = n/2 λ

3. What is the order of the first minimum in a single-slit diffraction pattern?

λ/a · 2λ/a · 3λ/a · λ/2a

4. In the context of interference, what does 'n' represent?

Wavelength · Order of fringe · Frequency · Amplitude

5. What type of interference occurs at the center of the fringe pattern in Young's experiment?

Destructive · Constructive · No interference · Total interference
