What is secondary maximum in diffraction?

 Describe the Real-Life Examples of Diffraction.

The condition for obtaining secondary maxima in the diffraction pattern due to single slit is 

Draw a labelled graph of the intensity of diffracted light $\left(I\right)$ versus angle$\left(\theta \right)$ in the Fraunhofer diffraction experiment for a single-slit diffraction.

Explain the fraunhofer diffraction and the wave front incident on the aperture.

For a given single slit, the diffraction pattern is obtained on a screen first by using red and then by blue light. In which case, will the central maxima, in the observed diffraction pattern have a larger angular width?

Write one difference between interference and diffraction.

Write one similarity between phenomenon of diffraction and interference.
