It can be shown that this property is a consequence of causality, i.e. that two regions with a space-like separation do not influence each oth ...

However, when the beam width is set as 2/ 5 of the incident wavelength, as shown in Fig. 3, the beam diverges into two branches, one beam traveling along the original incident direction and the other beam traveling in a different direction.

Cross section (physics)



The cross section is an effective area that quantifies the intrinsic likelihood of a scattering event when an incident beam strikes a target object, made of discrete particles. The cross section of a particle is the same as the cross section of a hard object, if the probabilities of hitting them with a ray are the same. It is typically denoted σ and measured in units of area.In scattering experiments, one is often interested in knowing how likely a given event occurs. However, the rate depends strongly on experimental variables such as the density of the target material, the intensity of the beam, or the area of overlap between the beam and the target material. To control for these mundane differences, one can factor out these variables, resulting in an area-like quantity known as the cross section.
