'''Diffraction''' can be described as a visual effect where as a result of pupil dilation, some light sources which hit the lens of the eye will appear spread into a larger range of the spectrum, rather than a consolidated wavelength. This results in the experience of rainbows and spectrums of colour embedded across the brighter parts of one's visual field and can be a common experience during day to day life for some people.
'''Diffraction''' is defined as 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 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.
