Fraunhofer diffraction equation

In optics, the Fraunhofer diffraction equation is used to model the diffraction of waves when the diffraction pattern is viewed at a long distance from the diffracting object, and also when it is viewed at the focal plane of an imaging lens. The equation was named in honour of Joseph von Fraunhofer although he was not actually involved in the development of the theory.
