Electric field amplitude in two-source interference
7
New cards
phase change @ reflections
180º if n2 > n1
0º if n2 < n1
8
New cards
interference @ thin film (constructive)
λn = λ/n
9
New cards
interference @ thin film (destructive)
λn = λ/n
10
New cards
Newton’s rings
when thin film height varies over an area, leading to rings of constructive/destructive interference
11
New cards
Michelson interferometer
splits one light ray into two
varying one of the mirror’s path lengths allows for accurate data on light interference
