Definition that contains diffract
- fringe one of the light or dark bands produced by the interference and diffraction of light
- thomson English physicist (son of Joseph John Thomson) who was a co-discoverer of the diffraction of electrons by crystals (1892-1975)
- echelon a diffraction grating consisting of a pile of plates of equal thickness arranged stepwise with a constant offset
- powder method a process for identifying minerals or crystals; a small rod is coated with a powdered form of the substance and subjected to suitably modified X-rays; the pattern of diffracted rings is used for identification
- george paget thomson English physicist (son of Joseph John Thomson) who was a co-discoverer of the diffraction of electrons by crystals (1892-1975)
- powder photography a process for identifying minerals or crystals; a small rod is coated with a powdered form of the substance and subjected to suitably modified X-rays; the pattern of diffracted rings is used for identification
- x-ray diffraction the scattering of X rays by the atoms of a crystal; the diffraction pattern shows structure of the crystal
- parhelion a bright spot on the parhelic circle; caused by diffraction by ice crystals
- interference fringe one of the light or dark bands produced by the interference and diffraction of light
- diffract undergo diffraction
