We explore double and single slit example problems involving light and sound waves. In this Closer Look segment on Diffraction and Interference, we explore double and single slit example problems ...

It is 200 years since Thomas Young performed his famous double-slit experiment but the interference of waves that weave rich tapestries in space and space-time continues to provide deep insights into ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these patterns ...

The spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Coaching appointments will be available beginning in week 2 of the fall semester. Please make an appointment using the link below. One-on-one appointments between students and physics coaches offer ...
