Diffraction. Illustration showing diffraction of plane (or straight) waves as they pass through wide and narrow gaps. Diffraction is the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle. A wide gap produces a small amount of spreading at the edges, whereas a gap of similar size to the wavelength produces considerable spreading of the wavefront. | |
