NEET 2026 Physics question
In interference and diffraction, the light energy is redistributed. If it reduces in one region, producing a dark fringe, it increases in another region, producing a bright fringe. A. As there is no gain or loss of energy, these phenomena are consistent with the principle of conservation of energy. B. Diffraction and interference are characteristics exhibited only by light waves. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer: (3)
Solution
Statement A is true: interference and diffraction merely redistribute energy (dark fringes lose exactly what bright fringes gain), so energy is conserved. Statement B is
