A single slit diffraction pattern produces a central maximum and diminishing side bands as it interacts with itself and results from the wavefront bending around the edges of the slit. However, the double slit interference pattern forms equally spaced bright and dark fringes, and it is due to the light superposition from two different coherent sources.
