What is diffraction of light?
In this topic we will discuss what is diffraction of light , using single slit experiment formation of central max , position of secondary maxima and minima.
Diffraction of Light – Single Slit Experiment
1. What is diffraction of light?
Diffraction of light is the phenomenon of bending and spreading of light waves when they pass through a narrow slit or around the edge of an obstacle.
Diffraction is clearly observed when the size of the slit or obstacle is comparable to the wavelength of light.
