published by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
This item is an introductory tutorial on the topic of diffraction of light waves. It explains the phenomenon in a variety of ways and provides real-life examples of diffraction patterns. Related interactive simulations demonstrate basic properties of light being diffracted through a slit and allow users to explore more complex phenomena such as Airy disk patterns.
