Question

Explain the phenomenon of diffraction of light.

Answer 1

jst seee this u will understand

Answer 2

Answer:

Refraction of light is the bending of light rays in the event of an obstacle.

Explanation:

In simple terms, defraction of light is the spreading out of light rays due to an obstacle.

Other than light, defraction can happen with many other rays including:

• Sound waves
• Electromagnetic waves
• Water waves

There are two types of defraction. This are:

1. Fresnel diffraction which occurs when light from a source meets with an obstacle
2. Fraunhofer diffraction which happens when plane wave-fronts with the object effectively at infinity
