I absolutely have no idea what the point of diffraction is or what it's useful for. The only thing I get out of it is passing light through a hole and getting patterns on a wall.
Could someone explain what it is and what the important equations are? I totally skipped over this chapter thinking it was not important, or as important so now when I am going over this stuff, I am seeing a lot of variations of the equations. How many equations are there for diffraction? Aren't there some for double slit too that are different from single slit? Thanks!!
Below is single slit and I believe the diffraction equation. Help
