Diffraction is the deviation of waves from straight-line propagation without any change in their energy due to an obstacle or through an aperture. The diffracting object or aperture effectively becomes a secondary source of the propagating wave.

2025年1月21日 · Diffraction, the spreading of waves around obstacles. Diffraction takes place with sound; with electromagnetic radiation, such as light, X-rays, and gamma rays; and with very small moving particles such as atoms, neutrons, and electrons, which show wavelike properties.

2022年11月17日 · Diffraction is the bending or spreading of light waves around an obstacle. The obstacle can be an aperture or slit whose size is approximately the same as the wavelength of light. The amount of bending depends on the relative size of the opening compared to the wavelength of light.

diffraction: The bending of a wave around the edges of an opening or an obstacle. constructive interference: Occurs when waves interfere with each other crest to crest and the waves are exactly in phase with each other.

Diffraction is the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle. Learn diffraction of light and what happens in a single slit diffraction experiment at BYJU'S.

2020年12月28日 · Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or corners. It happens to light waves, sound waves and water waves. This bending often causes waves to interfere with themselves, creating diffraction patterns. Diffraction also limits the resolution of anything using an aperture, like cameras.

2025年1月10日 · Diffraction is the spreading out of waves when they pass an obstruction. This shows that when a wave meets an obstacle a diffraction pattern forms around the edges. The size of the gap (compared to the wavelength) affects how much the waves spread out.
