PPT-Interference of Light

Dr Mahender Singh Associate Professor in Physics Post Graduate Govt College Sector11 Chandigarh Interference The term interference refers to phenomenon involving superposition of waves leading to a modification of their intensity in the region of superposition. Introduction to Physics II. . Class 5 – . Outline:. Ch. . 22, . sections . 22.1-22.4. (Note we are skipping sections 22.5 and 22.6 in this course). Light and Optics. Double-Slit Interference. The Diffraction Grating. Physics 2102. Gabriela Gonz. á. lez. Michelson interferometers:. As we saw in the previous example, interference is a spectacular way of measuring small distances (like the thickness of a soap bubble), since we are able to resolve distances of the order of the wavelength of the light (for instance, for yellow light, we are talking about 0.5 of a millionth of a meter, 500nm). This has therefore technological applications.. Magnetism Feel. Taste . Smell. Optical Properties. Magnetism. Lodestone – natural compass. Magnetite. Feel. Graphite. feels greasy. Talc. feels soapy. Taste. Halite. is rock salt, so it tastes salty.. Wave Optics. The wave nature of light is needed to explain various phenomena. Interference. Diffraction. The . particle nature of light was the basis for ray (geometric) . optics. Light waves interfere with each other much like mechanical waves do. Up to now we have been studying . geometric optics. . Today we will look at effects related to the . wave nature of light –. . physical optics. polarization. interference. thin film interference. Physics 2102. Gabriela Gonz. á. lez. Light is a wave. When two beams of light combine, we can have constructive or destructive “interference.” . http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/applets/fourier.html.
