Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: why do a lot of people confuse between interference and diffraction?
« on: 05/03/2024 10:21:22 »Can't you distinguish between interference and diffraction without invoking quantum physics?I can, and have done several times in this thread.
The phenomenon of diffraction can be modelled with a single wavefront and Huygens' construction
Modelling interference requires at least two wavefronts and the principle of superposition
Sometimes, both happen.
