Laser Slits Reveal Wave Patterns

Description

Laser light can reveal wave behavior through interference and diffraction. These are common wave effects seen in many settings, from water waves to electromagnetic waves such as light.

Interference happens when two waves of the same kind overlap. Their combined wave creates a repeating pattern of...

Transcript

La interferencia y la difracción son fenómenos característicos de todas las ondas, desde las ondas de agua hasta las ondas electromagnéticas como la luz.

La interferencia se refiere al fenómeno en el que dos ondas del mismo tipo se superponen para producir una onda resultante de mayor, menor o de la misma amplitud.

La difracción se...
