If or Whether?

Use if for a conditional idea, whether for an alternative or possibility.
Let me know if you'll be coming means that I want to hear from you only if you're coming.
Let me know whether you'll be coming means that I want to hear from you about your plans one way or the other.
(Garner, The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style)
