Prompt

What is the significance of diffraction at small apertures? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
94 chars

Generation

Diffraction at small apertures causes light waves to spread out and bend around edges, limiting the ability to focus light to a sharp point. This effect becomes more pronounced as the aperture size approaches the wavelength of light, creating the fundamental limit on optical resolution known as the diffraction limit. It explains why smaller camera apertures produce less sharp images and why microscopes and telescopes have minimum resolvable feature sizes.
