abstract:

Microlensing is mostly studied in geometric optics limit. When wavelength of observation increase effects of wave optics can be important. In this work we  show effects of wave optics can be detected for low mass lenses in radio wave. SKA (Square Kilometre Array), very large array of radio telescope, can detect giants and super giants in bulge or Magellanic clouds and will start next decay. giants and super giants emit more radio wave. we show fluctuations that come from wave optics, in light curve of binary system, can be detected with SKA.
