Which outcome occurs when coherent light illuminates grating?

A)Diffraction maxima and minima appear
B)Photons pass undeflected always
C)Light exhibits only constructive behavior
D)Energy becomes uniformly distributed

💡 Explanation

Diffraction and interference combine, causing constructive and destructive interference. This occurs because the Huygens principle creates secondary wavelets from each point on the grating, undergoing superposition that results in an observed diffraction pattern; therefore, maxima and minima form, rather than uniform lighting.
