Kirchhoff theory [′kərk‚hōf ‚thē·ə·rē]

(optics)

A theory of diffraction of light which gives a mathematical formulation of Huygens' principle, based on the wave equation and Green's theorem, and enables quantitative determination of the amplitude and phase at any point to a very close approximation.
