 In interference and diffraction, the light energy is redistributed. It reduces in one region, producing a dark fringe; it increases in another region, producing a bright fringe.
\((\mathrm{A})~\) As there is no gain or loss of energy, these phenomena are consistent with the principle of conservation of energy.
\((\mathrm{B})~\) Diffraction and interference are characteristics exhibited only by light waves.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. \((\mathrm{A})\) is False, but \((\mathrm{B})\) is True
2. \((\mathrm{A})\) is True, but \((\mathrm{B})\) is False
3. \((\mathrm{A})\) is True and \((\mathrm{B})\) is also True
4. Both \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{B})\) are False
