'''Diffraction''' is the experience of seeing rainbows and spectrums of colour embedded within the brighter parts of a person's visual field. This visual effect is likely due to [[pupil dilation]] resulting in some light sources hitting the lens of the eye in a manner which appears to spread into a larger range of the spectrum rather than a consolidated wavelength.{{citation needed}} | '''Diffraction''' is defined as the experience of seeing rainbows and spectrums of colour embedded within the brighter parts of a person's visual field.

Diffraction is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#mild|mild]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[mescaline]]. However, this effect is also experienced during everyday sober living for certain people. | Diffraction is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#mild|mild]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[mescaline]].
