ljudskija7s 2022-08-13Why are electromagnetic waves called waves even though they don't travel through a medium?
Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or openings. When light waves encounter an obstacle in their path, they are scattered and spread out. This is called diffraction of light. There are many examples of diffraction of light. One of the most famous is the diffraction of laser light. When a laser beam encounters an obstacle, it is scattered and spread out in a fan-like pattern. This is because the laser beam is a very narrow beam of light. There are many equations and answers to questions about diffraction of light. However, if you need help with diffraction of light, there are many people who can help you.
