	Francesco Maria Grimaldi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Francesco Maria Grimaldi (April 2, 1618 - December 28, 1663) was an Italian mathematician and physicist who taught at the Jesuit college in Bologna.
		Between 1640 and 1650, working with Riccioli, he investigated the free fall of objects, discovering that the distance of fall was proportional to the square of the time taken.
		Grimaldi crater on the Moon was named after him.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Francesco Maria Grimaldi
		Grimaldi's most important scientific work was done in optics, in which field he became a worthy predecessor of Newton and Huyghens.
		Grimaldi also discovered that when sunlight, entering a room through two small apertures, was allowed to fall on a screen, the region illuminated by the two beams was darker than when illuminated by either of them separately.
		Grimaldi was conspicuous for his amiability, gentleness, and modesty.

	grimaldi
		Grimaldi made many discoveries of fundalmental importance, but they were much in advance of the theory of the time, and their significance was not recognized until over a century later.
		Grimaldi demonstrated that when a beam of light passes through two small holes, one behind the other, and then falls on a dark surface,the beam of light on that surface is a little wider than the original beam.
		Grimaldi concluded that the beamhad been bent outward by a slight amount at the edges of the hole.

	Francesco M. Grimaldi, S.J.
		Francesco M Grimaldi, S.J. was born and died in Bologna and was professor of mathematics and physics at the Jesuit college in Bologna for many years.
		Apparently prompted by Grimaldi's observation of color effects, Newton compared the widths of the luminous patches produced by the lights of different portions of the spectrum, and noticed that the bands of red lights were largest while the blue were least with the green of middle size.
		Francesco Grimaldi is responsible for the practice of naming lunar regions after astronomers and physicists, rather than after ideas such as "tranquility".

		Sometime between 1635 and 1640 he collaborated with François Perrier and Giovanni Ruggieri on the decoration of the gallery in the Palazzo Peretti–Amalgia, Rome; the vault, which was probably designed by Grimaldi, was modelled on Cortona’s gallery in the Villa Sacchetti at Castelfusano.
		In 1640–41, again inspired by the Villa Sacchetti, Grimaldi frescoed the vault of the great hall of the Palazzo Santacroce ai Catinari, Rome.
		The ceiling is framed with stucco cartouches, and the vault is decorated with five quadri riportati.

		The Fresnel diffraction theory is then modeled by computer aided calculation, demonstrated by computer simulation, and experimentally validated by straightedge diffraction.
		As we begin to explore Fresnel's work on the theoretical description of these fringes, it will prove useful to reproduce the phenomena that Grimaldi and Hooke observed so long ago with modern equipment and precision.
		In the production of Fresnel's near-field diffraction, we will require a monochromatic point source, a straightedge and a screen.
