One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. The patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern with a central maximum width of about 1 cm across. The distance from the window shade to the wall is 3 m. a. Estimate the average wavelength of the sunlight b. Estimate the diameter of the pinhol

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
