Conditions that produce this phenomenon are governed by Bragg's Law, and in Young's double-slit experiment, it caused each slit to act as a line source.
Light beams interacting with acoustic waves in quartz results in the Schaefer-Bergmann type of this phenomenon. The fields resulting from this phenomenon for two arrangements with the same geometry are complementary according to Babinet's principle. Plane wave fronts produce patterns named for the Fraunhofer type of this phenomenon, and concentric circles are the patterns produced by the Fresnel type of it. This phenomenon leads to a formula for the limitation in angular resolution known as the Rayleigh criterion, and it can also create Airy disks. Conditions that produce this phenomenon are governed by Bragg's Law, and in Young's double-slit experiment, it caused each slit to act as a line source. For 10 points, name this bending of waves around the edge of an obstacle.
