Question
How can you differentiate whether a pattern is produced by a single slit or double slit?
Solution
If all of the bands are the same width and intensity, a double slit pattern is generated. The width and intensity of the pattern produced by a single slit vary.

Two wavelengths of sodium light 590 nm and 596 nm are used, in turn, to study the diffraction taking place due to a single slit of aperture 1 × 10−4 m.
