Diffraction Patterns in a Spider's Web
![]() | | ![]() |
Spider’s webs can show colourful diffraction patterns when photographed out-of-focus (see Lynch and Livingston, Color and Light in Nature, pp 240 ). See also Dieter Zawischa, http://www.itp.uni-hannover.de/~zawischa/ITP/Spinnennetz.html for more thorough information.
