Atmospheric diffraction is manifested in the following principal ways: Fourier optics is the bending of light rays in the atmosphere, which results in remarkable visual displays of astronomical objects, such as depictions on this page. Radio wave diffraction is the scattering of radio frequency or lower frequencies from the earth's ionosphere, resulting in the ability to achieve greater distance radio broadcasting.

  • Atmospheric diffraction is manifested in the following principal ways: Fourier optics is the bending of light rays in the atmosphere, which results in remarkable visual displays of astronomical objects, such as depictions on this page. Radio wave diffraction is the scattering of radio frequency or lower frequencies from the earth's ionosphere, resulting in the ability to achieve greater distance radio broadcasting. Sound wave diffraction is the bending of sound waves, as the sound travels around edges of geometric objects. This produces the effect of being able to hear even when the source is blocked by a solid object. The sound waves bend appreciably around the solid object. However, if the object has a diameter greater than the acoustic wavelength, a 'sound shadow' is cast behind the object where the sound is inaudible. .
