Diffraction Grating
A large number of equally spaced parallel slits is called a diffraction grating.
Why more slits yield sharper peaks?
The bright maxima are much sharper and narrower for grating.

Interference by Thin Film
A beam of light reflected by a material whose index of refraction is greater than that of the material in which it is traveling, changes phase by ½ cycle.
