Select the correct option for the statements given below.
(A) The diffraction pattern is a superposition of waves originating from each point on a single slit.
(B) The interference pattern is the superposition of two waves originating from two narrow slits.
(C) The diffraction pattern in single slit has a central bright maximum brighter than other maxima.
(D) The interference in double slit has a number of equally spaced bright and dark bands.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A (A) and (C) are correct, (B) and (D) are incorrect
- B (A) and (C) are incorrect, (B) and (D) are correct
- C (A), (B), (C) and (D) incorrect
- D (A), (B), (C) and (D) are correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) (A), (B), (C) and (D) are correct
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statements A and B accurately define the origins of these patterns: diffraction arises from the superposition of wavelets from a single wavefront, while interference comes from two distinct coherent sources. Statements C and D describe their visual differences—diffraction has a…

Our immune system plays the major role in preventing diseases when we are exposed to disease-causing agents. Immunity is of two types: (i) Innate immunity and (ii) Acquired immunity. The human immune system consists of lymphoid organs, tissues, cells and soluble molecules like antibodies. The immune system also plays an important role in allergic reactions, auto-immune diseases and organ transplantation. The primary lymphoid organs are bone marrow and thymus. The secondary lymphoid organs are spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, Peyer's patches of small intestine and appendix. There is lymphoid tissue also located within the lining of the major tracts (respiratory, digestive and urogenital tracts) called mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). It is important to note that HIV/AIDS is not spread by mere touch or physical contact; it spreads only through body fluids. AIDS has no cure, prevention is the best option. Adolescence is accompanied by several biological and behavioural changes and surveys and statistics show that use of drugs and alcohol has been on the rise especially among the youth. Factors associated with drug and alcohol abuse among adolescents are a child's natural curiosity, stress, the perception among youth that it is 'cool' or progressive to smoke, media exposure and an unstable or unsupportive family structures and peer pressure. It is best to identify the situations that may push an adolescent towards use of drugs or alcohol, and to take remedial measures well in time.

Carbohydrates such as cane sugar, glucose, starch etc. belong to a class of naturally occurring organic compounds. Structurally these are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or the compounds which produce such units on hydrolysis. Carbohydrates which are sweet in taste are called sugars. Theses sugars can be reducing or non-reducing. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler units whereas Oligosaccharides yield two to ten monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. Polysaccharides yield large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. This class of biomolecules is essential for living systems as they serve as storage molecules in plants and animals. In addition, they provide raw materials for important industries like furniture, textiles, paper, lacquers and breweries. Two aldopentose form important constituents of nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are also called saccharides (Greek: sakcharon which means sugar). Sugar which is used in household and in milk also comes under this class of biomolecules.
