We shall try to
maintain the convention that interference involves the deliberate
production of two or more separate beams and that diffraction occurs
naturally when a single wave is limited in some way. We shall not always
succeed in maintaining this convention because some names - the
diffraction grating, for example - do not fit in with it and are too well
established to change.
