Report

Single Aperture - Example 2

In physics and optics, diffraction is the phenomenon in which waves, such as light or sound waves, spread out as they pass through a narrow opening, or aperture. The spreading occurs only for waves whose wavelength is comparable to or larger than the dimensions of the aperture.
