There are 4 lessons in this physics tutorial covering Interference and Diffraction of Light. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Interference and Diffraction of Light and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of Interference and Diffraction of Light. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.
In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
Do you think light rays can bend around obstacles? What dimensions these obstacles must have to observe this phenomenon?
Is it possible for a light ray to pass through a small hole? Does it bend during this process?
When you turn on two identical bulbs placed at different positions inside the same room, you can observe some dark and bright concentric circles on the wall. Why do they occur?
Do you think two light waves can overlap? What conditions must they meet in order to make this phenomenon occur?
In this tutorial, we discuss interference and diffraction of light - two phenomena that require very specific conditions to take place. Also, the tools used to obtain the interference and diffraction of light waves are discussed and explained. Hence, this is a very special topic - one of the most important in the Physical Optics.
