Solution

Hi Kumar!

The phenomenon of bending of light around the corners of an opaque object which obstructs the path of light is called diffraction. Interesting patterns are observed when a monochromatic light is diffracted by a small slit. The diffraction pattern consists of a central bright region and alternate dark and bright regions.
Cheers!!
