If you put apertures of different shapes in the path of a plane wave, you get different diffraction patterns. And with a bit of experience you can say a lot about the aperture shape just by looking at the diffraction pattern.

This post doesn't seem to appear in the #Physics feed. Do I need permission to post there, or I just made a silly mistake? (likely staring to post scientific visualizations here on bsky, now that videos are supported, but I still have no clue how this place works)
Again, no clue how to navigate this space yet 😉
