differnce between diffraction and scattering
Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2017 11:49 am
Could you please help me with the difference between the two phenomena? I know scattering of light is when light "bounces back" towards various directions after "hitting" an obstacle. I've read that diffraction is a special case of scattering when waves interfere to produce some of pattern.
Any clearer distinction?
Thank you
