what is diffraction pattern?

Open in App
Solution

Hi Kumar!

The phenomenon of bending of light around the corners of an opaque object which obstructs the path of light is called diffraction. Interesting patterns are observed when a monochromatic light is diffracted by a small slit. The diffraction pattern consists of a central bright region and alternate dark and bright regions.

Cheers!!
