This lecture covers the principles of interference and diffraction patterns, focusing on the rules that govern them. Topics include Young's two-slit experiment, Bragg's law, and the relationship between diffraction signal sharpness and the number of scattering elements. The instructor also introduces the concept of the diffraction pattern of a homogenously illuminated system as the square of the Fourier transform of that system.
