MCQ
Diffraction and interference of light suggest
  • A
    Nature of light is electro-magnetic
  • Wave nature
  • C
    Nature is quantum
  • D
    Nature of light is transverse

Answer

Correct option: B.
Wave nature
b
Interference is a property originated by waves from two coherent sources, whereas secondary wavelets that originate from the same wave but occur from different parts of it, produce a phenomenon termed as Diffraction.

so, it is clear that they both suggest the wave nature of light
