In addition to our other problems, we must also contend with transmission (with attenuation), reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and scattering. In addition to our other problems, we ...

Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...

This video looks at the refraction of light and demonstrates how refraction can make the handle of a Pyrex jug seemingly disappear.

Most people know that light travels in a straight line unless something acts upon it to change its direction. The three most common methods of changing the direction of light are refraction, ...

PROF. MURANI'S volume upon light and Röntgen rays does credit to Italian science. It may be described as a work on light, with special reference to Röntgen rays. The general phenomena of light—such as ...
