Definition of diffract in English:

diffract

verb dɪˈfraktdəˈfrækt

[with object]Physics

Cause to undergo diffraction.
experiments found that a beam of electrons could be diffracted like light
diffracted X-rays
Example sentencesExamples
- In 1912, Max von Laue predicted that the spacing of crystal layers is small enough to diffract light of the appropriate wavelength.
- His lab has developed a chip device that diffracts light in the presence of certain antibodies.
- You wouldn't see the rainbow effect if you used two reflecting surfaces an inch apart because that distance too large to diffract visible light.
- So as the single photon's wave function passes through the slits it is diffracted and interferes with itself.
- Alternating dark and light parallel lines on the detector mark where columns of silicon atoms diffract the electrons.

Derivatives

diffractive

adjective dɪˈfraktɪvdəˈfræktɪv

Physics

Of or involving diffraction.
diffractive optical elements
Example sentencesExamples
- The general wavefront coding element is nonrotationally symmetric and smooth, although diffractive surfaces can be used.
- The large, open aperture of the exposed gain media provides plenty of room to multiplex pump beams as well as very low diffractive loss for the circulating laser mode.
- Vortex launch with diffractive optical elements reduces back reflection into the laser source and improves the bandwidth over multimode fiber links.

diffractively

adverb

Physics

Diagams 1 and 2 show Feynman diagrams corresponding to the interactions necessary to diffractively produce Z and W bosons from these arrangements.
The fractal behaviour of the diffractively produced particles remains almost unchanged for different flux factors.

Origin

Early 19th century: from Latin diffract- 'broken in pieces', from the verb diffringere, from dis- 'away, from' + frangere 'to break'.

If light is diffracted the waves it travels in are broken up in some way. The word is from Latin diffringere ‘break into pieces’.

Rhymes

abreact, abstract, act, attract, bract, compact, contract, counteract, enact, exact, extract, fact, humpbacked, impact, interact, matter-of-fact, pact, protract, redact, refract, retroact, subcontract, subtract, tact, tract, transact, unbacked, underact, untracked
