Nov 9, 2014 at 23:13 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten The underlying physics is Huygen's principle. In fact the answer to almost every "Why does ..." question in optics in Huygen's principle. It is usually underplayed in basic treatments (I think because you have to understand it's application to appreciate it and you have to appreciate it to understand it's application), but it is really important.
