Learn how to use WaveRay for Android Diffraction & Wave Optics Menu with real, manually matched screenshots. This tutorial covers setup, execution, result interpretation and practical checks.

What this tutorial covers

Use the mobile menu to enter Fresnel/Fraunhofer, interference and other diffraction tools.

Before you start:You need access to the product and should ideally follow the tutorial using your own real parameters or data. The screenshots below were manually rematched to avoid the image/topic mismatches seen in the previous version.

Step-by-step workflow

1Open the module

Open Diffraction & Wave Optics from the home screen. Confirm that the visible page really matches the tutorial topic before changing any settings.

2Configure the input

Prepare and check the diffraction/wave-optics problem type you want to solve.

3Run and watch the status

Choose a specific tool from this category. Watch the visible status, plot or log area while the workflow is running.

4Inspect the result

Pay special attention to a grouped entry point to multiple mobile diffraction and wave-optics tools.

5Verify and iterate

This is the most common entry point when you want to open Fresnel/Fraunhofer or Interference on Android. Change one meaningful parameter and rerun so you can verify whether the output changes in the expected direction.

How to read the result

  • The main output of this workflow is a grouped entry point to multiple mobile diffraction and wave-optics tools.
  • Read the result together with the exact inputs used for the run; a screenshot alone rarely tells the whole story.
  • This is the most common entry point when you want to open Fresnel/Fraunhofer or Interference on Android.

Troubleshooting & practical tips

  • If nothing changes, first confirm that the correct module is open.
  • If the output looks unrealistic, check units, field mapping and input scale first.
  • For comparisons, change one key parameter at a time whenever possible.
