Thanks guys. But what does it mean in pratical terms of constructing or pairing differently shaped slits. Is there anything I can do or avoid to do in order to eliminate or diffuse the problem? Regards, Brigitte.

This -perhaps- are regions where light (wave) diffracted by one slit is at its maximum peak (+) and light (wave) diffracted by the other slit not just overlaps the former but happens to be at its lowest peak (-), the net effect is darkness, light from one slit canceling out with light from the other slit, weird, eh? This BTW, is called Destructive Interference.
