Diffraction

Diffraction

1. Is not confined to narrow slits

2. Diffraction has a problem with the small objects

3. Is a property of all kinds of waves, inclding sound and light waves

4. Diffraction has a problem with the small objects

5. Magnification and microscope design defeat the fundamental diffraction light

6. They also be called distortion

7. Is the two ends of the opening, and is the bending of light around the corners of an obstacle

8. Example: -Plane waves passing through openings of various sizes.The smaller the opening, the greater the bending of the waves at the edges

9. Example: -The oscillating meterstickmakes plane waves in the tank of water. Water oscillating in the opening acts as a source of waves that fan out on the other side of the opening. Water diffracts through the opening
