Issues with mixing ImplicitWait and ExplicitWait

Implicit Wait commands
On implementing implicit wait, if WebDriver cannot find an element in the Document Object Model(DOM), it will wait for a defined amount of time for the element to appear in the DOM
Driver will look for the element by polling every 500 milli second
Driver will wait specified amount time or element is available in the DOM
If the element is not available even after the specified time, driver will throw ElementNotFound exception

Explicit Wait
An explicit wait can only be implemented in cases where synchronization is needed for an element and the rest of the script is working fine.
Explicit wait can be used to verify the page title, page url or to find the element.
The Selenium WebDriver provides WebDriverWait and ExpectedCondition classes for implementing an explicit wait.
The WebDriverWait object will call the ExpectedConditions class method for every 500 milliseconds until it returns successfully or specified time is over.

Possible interview questions on implicit wait and explicit wait combination :

What is ImplicitWait and ExplicitWait .
What is the difference between Implicit and ExplicitWait
Which kind of issues we will face if we mix ImplicitWait and ExplicitWait

Code :
@Test
public void ImplicitAndExplicitMix() {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Stopwatch watch = null; try {

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);

}
catch (Exception e) {
}
}

}

Super explanation, no video explain exact difference between implicit wait and explicit wait. This video clears my doubts on ImpWait and ExpWait cleary. Thank you so much

lacking confidence `while explaining...explanation should have been better...
