Which mechanism causes alternating bright and dark fringes created by light passing through a diffraction grating?

💡 Explanation

Constructive interference occurs because waves in phase amplify, resulting in bright fringes; dark fringes appear where waves are out of phase and cancel. Therefore constructive interference is the correct mechanism, rather than quantum effects involved or refraction phenomena producing color dispersion.
