Diffraction topography — (short: topography ) is an X ray imaging technique based on Bragg diffraction. Diffraction topographic images ( topographs ) record the intensity profile of a beam of X rays (or, sometimes, neutrons) diffracted by a crystal. A topograph thus… … Wikipedia
Diffraction in time — is a phenomenon associated with the quantum dynamics of suddenly released matter waves initially confined in a region of space. It was introduced in 1952 by Marcos Moshinsky with the shutter problem [1]: A matter wave beam stopped by an absorbing … Wikipedia
wave-particleduality — wave par·ti·cle duality (wāvʹpärʹtĭ kəl) n. The exhibition of both wavelike and particlelike properties by a single entity, as of both diffraction and linear propagation by light. * * * … Universalium

Diffraction grating — A very large reflecting diffraction grating. In optics, a diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic structure, which splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions. The directions of these beams … Wikipedia
Wave — A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy. While a mechanical wave exists in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces), waves of electromagnetic… … Wikipedia
Diffraction-limited system — Memorial to Ernst Karl Abbe, who approximated the diffraction limit of a microscope as , where d is the resolvable feature size, λ is the wavelength of light, n is the index of refraction of the medium being imaged in, and θ (depicted as α in the … Wikipedia
wave motion — ▪ physics propagation of disturbances that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike… … Universalium
