Answer:

diffraction phenomenon

Step-by-step explanation:

When you place your finger in front of a flash, you have a diffraction phenomenon whereby the light fills a part of the space with the first maximum diffraction.

In this case the phenomenon of geometric optics cannot explain the process of bending the beam around an object.
