Short example sentences

Ocean waves diffract around jetties and other obstacles. (8 words)

When the particles are all nearly the same size they diffract the incoming light at very specific angles. (18 words)

Sound waves can diffract around objects, which is why one can still hear someone calling even when hiding behind a tree. (21 words)

Longer example sentences

The maximum wavelength that a grating can diffract is equal to twice the grating period, in which case the incident and diffracted light will be at ninety degrees to the grating normal. (32 words)

If the width of the slits is small enough (less than the wavelength of the laser light), the slits diffract the light into cylindrical waves. (25 words)

Example sentences (7)

If the width of the slits is small enough (less than the wavelength of the laser light), the slits diffract the light into cylindrical waves.
