Which of the following nature of light waves is responsible for diffraction?
1 Newton's corpuscular theory
2 Huygen's wave theory
3 Einstein's quantum theory
4 Maxwell's electromagnetic theory
Explanation:
: Huygen's wave theory of light provides an explanation for the phenomenon of diffraction. According to this theory, light propagates as a waves, and each point on this wavefront can be through of as a source of secondary waves, known as Huygen's wavelets.

Which of the following can exhibit diffraction phenomenon?
1 photons
2 electrons
3 neutrons
4 all of these.
Explanation:
: Photons, electrons and neutrons all give diffraction although the technique used for diffraction and detection are different. Neutrons and electrons produce diffraction due to the de-Broglie wave where as that a photons is due to electromagnetic wave.

Both light and sound waves produce diffraction. It is more difficult to observe diffraction with light waves because:
1 light waves do not require medium
2 wavelength of light waves is far smaller
3 light waves are transverse waves
4 speed of light is far greater
Explanation:
: Both light and sound waves produce diffraction but it is more difficult to obtain the diffraction with light waves, because the light waves has very smaller wavelength. As the diffraction is only possible when the obstacle by which the wave has to be bend must be of the same order of wavelength of the wave so in case of sound wave the diffraction is easy to obtain, as the wavelength of sound are bigger appreciably and in case of light, it is more difficult.
