Due to this phenomenon, wavelength over diameter times one point two two equals angular resolution, by Rayleigh's Criterion. This effect can be modelled by considering each point on a wavefront as a source of a spherical wave, by Huygens' principle. This phenomenon creates the Airy Disk and Newton's (*) Rings. When this effect occurs with X-rays in crystals, it's modelled by Bragg's law. It occurs whenever light passes an obstacle, as a result of interference. For 10 points, name this optical phenomenon that can be produced by a double slit, like Thomas Young did, or by its namesake kind of "g
