Interference and diffraction

Diffraction due to a single slit

Introduction Interference, refraction, reflection, and diffraction all occur as light travels through the air. There is a diffraction of light when light meets an object. The wavefront on the other side of a small opening, which is equal in size to the wavelength of the light, looks like the wave. Diffraction of light and one-slit […]

Coherent Sources

In quantum physics, coherent sources are a significant and essential topic. This is pretty much an interesting and easy one. Here we discuss and explore this topic and understand it very closely. When we talk about coherent sources, we keep thinking about the word “ coherent.” Before getting started, we had to familiarize ourselves with

Characteristics of Coherent Sources

In quantum physics, coherent sources are a major and important topic. Before getting started, we have to familiarise ourselves with the term “coherent”. In the English language dictionary it means easy to understand, or ideas that are connected and flow together smoothly. But in physics, the word “coherent” is different. What are coherent sources? Coherence
