Abstract
The simplest problem in diffraction — light passing a straight edge — did not receive a rigorous solution till Sommerfeld’s work of 1896. The earlier theories, their successes and their limitations are recounted. They led upto Sommerfeld’s final solution which had eluded many great contemporaries. This solution was a landmark of rigorous diffraction theory.
