    Interference of two types

    Interference by wave-front and amplitude splitting. Optics Series Lecture, Lecture – XIV, XV, XVI. Topics covered in this lecture A. Color of thin films B. Newton’s rings C. Lloyd’s mirror and D. Phase changes during reflection We have previously discussed what is interference and what are wave-front splitting and amplitude splitting interference. We have also discussed…

    Fresnel’s Bi-prism; measurement of wavelength of light

    Optics Series Lecture, Lecture – XI “Fresnel’s Bi-prism: measurement of wavelength of light by it.” Today we will discuss another interesting interference set-up, now that we have discussed the Young’s double slit experiment, in lecture – IX. A few words about the general mechanism behind interference. There are two kinds of interference basically that we…
