The idea of wavefront recording and reconstruction, known today as holography, was formulated by Gabor 1. His proof-of-principle experiment was done with the light of a high pressure mercury lamp; it ...

The first real-time movie of large molecules creating an interference pattern after passing through two slits has been made by an international team of physicists. As well as being a beautiful example ...

One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon, known as the moiré ...

When a laser beam is incident on a narrow opaque object such as a fine wire or a strand of hair, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a slit of the same width as ...

To the recording studio to study interference and diffraction of sound waves. Unit 6 Segment D: Sound: Diffraction and Interference We head back to the recording studio to study interference and ...
