First, consider a single hole in an opaque screen - rectangular aperture. If a light is illuminating the screen on the other side a diffraction pattern is formed behind it (and can be seen on the screen located behind). With smaller ratio between aperture size and wavelength this effect becomes more pronouced and angular spacing between diffraction maxima is larger. | First, consider a single hole in an opaque screen - rectangular aperture.
