Abstract. New data showing an inaccuracy of Kirchhoff's description for the diffraction of the limited aperture light beams are presented. A series of the known experimental facts, which did not have an unequivocal interpretation within the framework of this theory, gains a simple explanation with passage to conceptions of the rigorous diffraction theory. The difficulties hindering the wide application of this theory for solving practical problems are considered as well.

Keywords: diffraction, boundary wave, light beem, aperture diaphragm.
