Diffraction

JEE:

ConceptMnemonic
Huygens’ PrincipleEvery point on a wavefront is a source of secondary waves.
Fresnel’s Half Period ZonesImagine the wavefront divided into zones of equal area, with alternating signs.
Zone PlateA zone plate is a transparent disk with a series of alternating opaque and transparent zones.
Diffraction GratingA diffraction grating is a series of parallel slits or grooves.
Double Slit ExperimentTwo slits produce an interference pattern on a screen.
Diffraction of Light by a Single SlitA single slit produces a diffraction pattern on a screen.
Diffraction by a Circular ApertureA circular aperture produces a diffraction pattern with a central bright spot.
Rayleigh ScatteringThe scattering of light by particles that are much smaller than the wavelength of light.
