“light is never known to follow
crooked passages nor to
bend into the shadow”.
Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)

“Any deviation of light rays from
rectilinear path which is neither
reflection nor refraction known
as diffraction.’’
Arnold Johannes Wilhelm Sommerfeld
(1868-1951)

Radio waves diffract around mountains.
When the wavelength is km long, a mountain peak diffract the wave.
Another effect that occurs is scattering – role of diffraction is not obvious.

Huygens’s Principle
“Every point in a propagating wavefront serves as the source
of spherical secondary wavelets, such that the wavefront at some
later time is the envelope of these wavelets.”
Huygens-Fresnel Principle
Every unobstructed point of a wavefront, at a given instant, serves as a
source of spherical secondary wavelets, The amplitude of the optical
field at any point beyond is the superposition of all these wavelets.

On obstacle, the electron oscillator vibrating and reemittting at source frequency
Incident field and field of all vibrating electrons superpose in such away that there is zero field beyond the obstacle.
Assume the mutual interaction between the oscillators are essentiallynegligible.

Diffraction of a wave by a slit
Whether waves in water or electromagnetic radiation in air, passage through a slit yields a diffraction pattern that will appear more dramatic as the size of the slit approaches the wavelength of the wave.
Narrower the slit, the wider the pattern

Fraunhofer and Fresnel Diffraction
Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787-1826) Augustin Jean Fresnel
(1788 - 1827)

Fraunhofer vs. Fresnel diffraction
• In Fraunhofer diffraction, both incident and diffracted waves may be considered to be plane (i.e. both S and P are a large distance away)
• If either S or P are close enough that wavefront curvature is not negligible, then we have Fresnel diffraction

•Fresnel diffraction pattern does change in shape as we move further away from the object (until, of course, we are so far away that the Fraunhofer condition is satisfied).
