  2. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    The resultant wave may have greater intensity (constructive interference) or lower amplitude (destructive interference) if the two waves are in phase or out of phase, respectively. Interference effects can be observed with all types of waves, for example, light , radio , acoustic , surface water waves , gravity waves , or matter waves as well ...

  3. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The interference pattern between the two electron waves could then be observed. [67] In 2017, researchers performed the double-slit experiment using light-induced field electron emitters. With this technique, emission sites can be optically selected on a scale of ten nanometers.

  4. Lloyd's mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd's_mirror

    In contrast, the Lloyd's mirror experiment does not use slits and displays two-source interference without the complications of an overlaid single-slit diffraction pattern. In Young's experiment, the central fringe representing equal path length is bright because of constructive interference. In contrast, in Lloyd's mirror, the fringe nearest ...

  5. Interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometry

    The picture is a color-coded image of the doppler shift of the line, which may be associated with the coronal plasma velocity towards or away from the satellite camera. Fabry–Pérot thin-film etalons are used in narrow bandpass filters capable of selecting a single spectral line for imaging; for example, the H-alpha line or the Ca-K line of ...

  6. Newton's rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_rings

    This is destructive interference: the waves will cancel (subtract) and the resulting light intensity will be weaker or zero. As a result, a dark area will be observed there. Because of the 180° phase reversal due to reflection of the bottom ray, the center where the two pieces touch is dark.

  7. Fringe shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringe_shift

    Yellow areas produce bright lines of constructive interference. The dark areas produce dark lines of destructive interference. In interferometry experiments such as the Michelson–Morley experiment, a fringe shift is the behavior of a pattern of “fringes” when the phase relationship between the component sources change.

  8. White light interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_light_interferometry

    This works because when two waves combine, the resulting pattern is determined by the phase difference between the two waves—waves that are in phase will undergo constructive interference while waves that are out of phase will undergo destructive interference. While white light interferometry is not new, combining old interferometry ...

  9. Physics of optical holography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_Optical_Holography

    Interference between a point source and a plane wave, both incident normally on the plate. When a plane wave is added to a point source and the resulting interference pattern recorded, a point source hologram is produced. This is effectively a Fresnel zone plate which acts as a lens. If the plane wave is normally incident on the recording plate ...
