Question

While dealing with devices named for this phenomenon, the Blaze angle is used to maximize efficiency. This phenomenon at a point is the sum of intensities from the original and its complement by Babinet’s Principle. A law governing (15[1])this (15[1])phenomenon (15[1])states that “n times lambda equals 2d sine theta." Fresnel (15[1])and Fraunhofer name this phenomenon’s (*) “near-field” and “far-field” regimes. (10[1])This phenomenon, the subject of Bragg’s law, explains why it is possible to hear sounds around (-5[1])a corner. (-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this phenomenon where light bends around (-5[1])an (10[1])obstacle, often contrasted (10[1])with reflection and refraction. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
