Diffraction through a single slit: As we narrow the slit, diffraction dominates, spreading light out, revealing its wave-like nature. Widen the slit, and the beam straightens up, its width starts to mirror the slit, just as expected. #physics #optics #fourieroptics #light #photonics #python

now the double slit experiment makes sense to me

If your bedroom were 4 OOM bigger, your windows would be pinhole to camera obscura.

Is this what happens when rays of light pass through holes in the clouds? So it explains the angle of the rays. Shouldn’t this happen for every hole in the cloud/slit?

Yes, this happens every place at any time. However, the effect might be blurred out or interfere with the surroundings, forming different kinds of patterns.

Is it because when the light gets very close to objects they can exert their object gravity on the light?

Actually, light always bends around the corner; it's not due to gravity but the fact that light has wave-like properties.

Conductive metallic surface ? I ask because light bends on the spike like a liquid flow

Although it is assumed that the material is metal, the light does not bend due to the metal itself. Instead, the light bends because it behaves as a wave ~
