Abstract

Abstract In this chapter we introduce diffraction using the concept of Huygens secondary sources. At the same time, we take the attitude that the whole subject must be grounded on Maxwell’s equations. We do what we can at our level of treatment to make the connection, and look critically at the customary assumptions. The whole subject of diffraction is, of course, itself founded on an understanding of simple cases of interference, such as the Young slits. It is assumed that the reader has acquired this foundation from a more elementary treatment of optics.
