diffraction's Usage Examples:

On the electromagnetic theory, the problem of diffraction becomes definite when the properties of the obstacle are laid down.

If the aperture and wave-length increase in the same proportion, the size and shape of the diffraction pattern undergo no change.

The diffraction pattern is therefore that due to a single aperture, merely brightened n times.

- Spectroscopes may be divided into two classes: prism spectroscopes, with angular or direct vision, and grating spectroscopes; the former acting by refraction (q.v.), the latter by diffraction or interference.

If the image of the line be =o, the intensity at any point E, n of the diffraction pattern may be represented by ?2a2t2 S A2f2 the same law as obtains for a luminous point when horizontal directions are alone considered.

By this procedure the width of the central band in the diffraction pattern is halved, and so far an advantage is attained.

DIFFRACTION OF LIGHT.

Diffraction when the Source of Light is not seen in Focus.

In 1799 he was induced by his fellow-student, Henry Brougham, to study the diffraction of light.

From the measured distances of the diffraction bands the width of the slit may be easily deduced.

Synonyms:

X-ray diffraction, optical phenomenon,
