Diffraction is an optical phenomenon where waves spread out when encountering an obstacle or an aperture. When waves, such as light waves, pass an opening or obstacle they bend or spread out. This spreading causes the waves to overlap and interact with each other, creating reinforcement in some areas and cancellation in others. The result is a characteristic diffraction pattern determined by the geometry of the opening and the wavelength of the waves.
