What is the phenomenon in which two or more waves combine to form a new wave?
What is the phenomenon in which a wave spreads out as it passes through an aperture or around an obstacle?
What is the condition for constructive interference?

What is the name of the pattern produced by the interference of two coherent waves?
What is the name of the pattern produced by the diffraction of a wave?
What is the relationship between the wavelength of a wave and the size of the interference or diffraction pattern?
What is the name of the experiment that demonstrated the wave-like nature of light?
What is the name of the experiment that demonstrated the particle-like nature of light?
What is the name of the principle that states that the path of a light ray is the path that minimizes the time taken to travel from one point to another?
