Question by Mahesh: How are small images of the sun in partial eclipse,seen under the shades of tree during solar eclipse?
Prior to the total solar eclipse, you may be able to look at the shadow thrown by a tree onto the ground. Often thousands of small images of the sun in partial eclipse will be visible. How does this happen? Does this phenomena have any thing to do with the term,'Fraunhoffer Diffraction?
Best answer:
Answer by Roger KDon't know if it is related to Fraunhoffer Diffraction, but each opening between the leaves through which the sun shines acts like a pinhole camera to project the image of the eclipsed sun on the ground.
