The Schaffer-Bergman form of this phenomenon is caused by light interacting with sound propagating through a medium.  In transmission electron microscopy, accelerated electrons undergo this phenomenon, resulting in a reflection of the sample crystal's reciprocal lattice.  In optics, it leads to the appearance of an Airy disc, which determines the Rayleigh criterion for the focusing power of telescopes.  Bragg's law specifies the geometry required for this type of interaction of x-rays with a crystal lattice.  A more familiar display of this property involves a laser beam passing through a thin slit.  FTP, name this wave phenomenon that describes the interference of waves upon interaction with a barrier, taking its name from the Latin for "to break into pieces".
