Abstract
Fresnel theory, with certain level of assumptions, explains satisfactorily observed diffraction patterns. It is a scalar theory and basically it deals special way of superposition of fields originated from several points of Huygens wave front. In the present paper a total new approach is proposed according to which the interacting electric fields are not originated from the secondary emitters of the same wave front, instead, they are originated from the successive Huygens wave fronts. The proposed approach is explained with the help of the circular aperture. This new view supports Fresnels theory without a set of assumptions.
