TERMS USED AND THEIR DEFINITIONS
SCOPE OF DIFFIRACTION
APPLICATION OF DIFFRACTION
There are several applications of diffraction and these are somewhat evident in our daily contact with a particular object without noticing,or on the other hand noticing the object but not knowing the principle behind it or what made the object look or act like that.
- SCIENTIFIC APPLICATION
- DAY TO DAY APPLICATION
The effects of diffraction are usually seen in everyday life. One of the most evident examples of diffraction are those involving light; for example,when you take a keen look at a CD or DVD the closely spaced tracks on a CD or DVD act as a diffraction grating to form the familiar rainbow pattern. This principle can be extended to engineer a grating with a structure such that it will produce any diffraction pattern desired; the hologram on a credit card
