a. It focuses the light from the broad beam source.
b. It forms a pattern of waves so that the light arriving at the silt S1 is "in step" with light arriving at S2.
c. It serves as an object whose image appears as a line on the screen.
d. It forms an image of the light source.
e. It separates the colors that are then focused by the double slit.
