Abstract
We have analytically explored the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld scalar diffraction for oblique incidence. We have explicitly derived the Fraunhofer diffraction formulae for oblique incidence of plane scalar wave on various apertures, such as single-slit, circular aperture, and diffraction grating. Such derivations in the background of Rayleigh-Sommerfeld scalar diffraction theory would be important for an undergraduate course on optics.
