Diffraction

Diffraction

1. when you touch your finger to the surfaceof sti water, circuar rippes are prouced. when you touch the surface whit a straightege, such a horizontally held meterstick, you produce a pale clave.

2. diffraction is a property of all kinds of waves including sound and ligth waves.

   • Diffraction is not confided to narrow slits on to openings in general but can be seen arround the edges of all shadows.

3. Diffraction poses a problem when you are viewing when small object whit a microscope.

   • If the size of an object is about the same as the wavelenght of light, is smaller than the wavelenght no of amount magnification or perfection of microscope deny can diferent this fundamental dufrraction limit

4. You can produce a series of plane waves by succesive dipping a materstia into de surface of the water.
