- Diffraction and interference are closely related phenomena that occur together. Diffraction is the phenomenon of bending of light around the edges of the obstacle, while interference is the combination of waves that results in a new wave pattern. In order to get interference, there must be at least two waves that are diffracting. So while diffraction can occur without interference, interference cannot occur without diffraction.
