Fringe Diffraction refers to the light and dark bands that appear when light waves bend around an edge or pass through a narrow opening. As the waves spread outward, they overlap and interfere with one another, creating alternating bright and dark fringes. The exact pattern depends on factors such as the wavelength of the light and the size or shape of the opening or obstacle. Diffraction patterns are important evidence of the wave-like nature of light, showing how light can spread, bend, and interact rather than simply traveling in straight lines.
Framing Note: Frames are selected by the artist and are included primarily to protect the artwork during handling and transit. Collectors are welcome to reframe the artwork after receipt according to their personal preference.
