Diffraction


Diffraction is the process by which waves interact with objects and are disturbed, or bent, from their previous course (e.g., the movement of water ripples around the end of a pier).

In X-ray crystallography, the diffraction of certain electromagnetic waves (X-rays) from atoms in a crystal is studied.

In neutron diffraction, a high-energy beam of neutrons (nuclear particles with no charge) has wave-like properties and can also be diffracted from atoms in a crystal lattice.
