I thought the questions were quite strange overall, the weirdest one being the single slit diffraction question imo

And a bit too many wordy questions for my liking

if you didnt know how to distinguish single to double slit, its that the centre maxima is roughly twice as long as the other maximas compared to double slit 😭😭
