Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. 7, No. 1 (APRIL, 1949), pp. 45-64 (20 pages) The problem of diffraction and scattering of a normally incident plane wave of sound by an infinite plane grating ...

Diffraction spikes are caused by interference due to the wave nature of light. The patterns produced depend on the shape of the telescope’s mirror and the number of spider struts.

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 23, No. 3 (Nov., 1972), pp. 339-355 (17 pages) We discuss the diffraction of high frequency acoustic waves by a circular aperture in a plane screen. Our ...

Captured here is a laser diffraction pattern, visible as a series of concentric circles with a bright central area. This pattern is a result of light waves spreading out and overlapping after passing ...
