Answer:

False

Explanation:

Diffraction is slight bending of the light as it passes around edge of object.  

It is caused as one wave of the light being shifted by the diffracting object. The shift will then cause wave to have the interference with itself. The interference can be constructive or destructive.  

The patterns of the interference rely on size of diffracting object and size of wave.

Hence, the given statement is incorrect.
