Target entity: Kirchhoff integral theorem Context triple: [Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory, derivedFrom, Kirchhoff integral theorem]
-
A.
Kirchhoff diffraction theory
chosen
Kirchhoff diffraction theory is a classical wave optics framework that models light propagation and diffraction by treating wavefronts as superpositions of secondary spherical waves emitted from an aperture.
-
B.
Etherington reciprocity theorem
The Etherington reciprocity theorem is a fundamental result in relativistic cosmology that links luminosity distance and angular diameter distance, underpinning observational tests of the expanding universe.
-
C.
Huygens–Fresnel principle
The Huygens–Fresnel principle is a fundamental concept in wave optics that explains how every point on a wavefront acts as a source of secondary wavelets whose interference determines the wave’s subsequent propagation and diffraction.
-
D.
Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory
Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory is a more rigorous scalar diffraction formulation that corrects limitations in Kirchhoff’s approach by using boundary conditions consistent with the wave equation.
-
E.
Fresnel diffraction theory
Fresnel diffraction theory is a wave-optics framework that describes how light diffracts when source or observation distances are finite, using near-field approximations derived from the Huygens–Fresnel principle.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (2 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
