WHAT IS IT? Definition: (physics) a deviation in the direction of a wave at the edge of an obstacle in its path – essentially when a wave changes direction because of a barrier/obstacle You get different phenomena when you have single and multiple slit diffraction because of interference.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
HOW ARE WE PLANNING TO USE IT? Diffraction gratings use this principle and allow us to see a full spectrum of light from a white light point source, creating some mesmerizing effect. We intend to design a system which allows the participants (users) to have a wonderful visual experience using this physics principle.
