Interference of Coherent Waves In the Double-Slit Experiment
Interference of Coherent Waves In the Double-Slit Experiment Waves at slits have to be coherent for interference to occur! Two different light bulbs in front of each slit will not give interference pattern.

Floaters Diffraction: Light Interference by Edges
Light Passing Through a Circular ApertureIs Blurred by Diffraction Light passing through a circular aperture of diameter D is spread by diffraction into a wider circular beam of light with a bright central intensity maximum surrounded by alternating rings of destructive (dark) and constructive (bright) interference. If we choose to define the size of the central bright intensity maximum by where the first dark ring occurs, then the angular width of the central intensity maximum is 2 where =1.22 /D is given by the above Rayleigh formula. Roughly speaking, the angular spread is of order 2/D, twice the ratio of wavelength to aperture diameter.
