Saturns Rings

There is an observation that spokes appear in Saturns rings origianly from
Voyager but now from Cassini.
It seems obvious that these are some optical effect and not a physical one.
I believe the waves of light are producing
this from interference basically or some interaction with the millimeter
size particles or more.
