Wave Optics | Diffraction

Both light and soucnd waves produced diffraction. It is more difficult to bserve the diffraction with light waves because

Attenuation of ground waves is due to ( 1 ) Diffraction effect ( 2 ) Radio waves induce currents in the ground because of the polarisation

Assertion: Standard optical diffraction cannot be used for discrimination between different X-ray wavelengths. Reason: The grating spacing is not of the order of X-ray wavelengths.

Introduction to Diffraction | Single Slit Diffraction | Diffraction through Circular Pin Hole

Wave property of electron implies that they will show diffraction effected . Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electron from crystals . The law governing the diffraction from a crystals is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal inter fere constructiely If a strong diffraction peak is observed when electrons are incident at an angle i from the normal to the crystal planes with distance d between them (see fig) de Brogle wavelength lambda_(dB) of electrons can be calculated by the relationship (n is an intenger)

Wave Optics and Electromagnetic Waves

Both light and sound waves suffer diffraction. Why it is more difficult to observe diffraction with light waves?
