The unique shape of the cove is a result of wave diffraction.
2.
The inverse problem of the short-wave diffraction is reduced to the Minkowski problem.
3.
The existence of the molecule was proven by matter wave diffraction on a diffraction grating.
4.
An improved theory introduced in 2004 gives exact solutions to problems involving wave diffraction by conducting scatterers.
5.
Research experiments from the 1930s by Dr . Harry F . Olson showed that curved loudspeaker baffles reduce some response deviations due to sound wave diffraction.
6.
For the Hawaii hotspot, long-period seismic body wave diffraction tomography provided evidence that a mantle plume is responsible, as had been proposed as early as 1971.
7.
If the characteristic dimensions for a given problem become comparable to the wavelength, then wave diffraction begins to play an important part, and this is not covered by geometric acoustics.
