Question
Answer the following question:
In what way is diffraction from each slit related to the interference pattern in a double-slit experiment?

Answer

If, width of each slit is of the order $\lambda$ then the intensity of interference fringes in Young's double-slit experiment is modified by the diffraction pattern of each slit.
