| dc.description.abstract | Scope and Method of Study: This paper presents a discussion of the phenomenon that we refer to as interference patterns, alternating regions of light and darkness, that occur when two beams of light interact through a medium. Also, a mathematical explanation, consistent with a wave model of light, and methods of obtaining the coherent sources necessary for the observation of interference are introduced. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Certain optical phenomena can be interpreted only by thinking of light as having a corpuscular nature; other phenomena, interference being one, can be completely explained by use of the wave theory. A simple mechanical model is used to develop the mathematical relationships. | |
| dc.description.abstract | The interferometer is discussed briefly. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Findings and Conclusions: The wave theory does, indeed, offer the vehicle for a complete and satisfactory explanation of the interference in light. | |
| dc.description.abstract | The interferometer, which uses the principle of interference, may be used to make precise measurements of the wavelength of light. | |
