Abstract :
The cone of diffracted rays, which is produced when an optical ray is incident on the edge of a reflecting wedge, is detected by illuminating the edge of a razor blade with a laser beam. All experimentally observed features are in agreement with the predictions of the geometrical theory of diffraction.
