Heisenberg’s γ-ray Microscope

Heisenberg’s γ-ray Microscope is a very high-resolution microscope that uses high-energy gamma rays for illumination. However, this microscope does not exist at present, but Heisenberg imagined it could see and locate the position of an electron with great accuracy. This high-resolution microscope uses high-energy light, giving the electron a bigger kick. According to the uncertainty […]

Height And Distance In Trigonometry

Trigonometry is a branch of science or mathematics that deals with calculating the heights, distances, or angles of any triangle. It also helps understand the relationship between the heights and distance in a triangle. Trigonometry was first introduced in astronomy, and then it gained great importance in all other fields such as geography and navigation.

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

Wave optics: wavefront and Huygens’ principle

Introduction The link between waves and light rays is the subject of wave optics, also known as physical optics. When the wave qualities of light are taken into account, it is utilized. It is concerned with the study of diverse phenomena such as polarization, diffraction, interference, and other occurrences when geometric optics cannot be represented

Wave nature of light

The fact that matter is made up of waves is one of the most counter-intuitive facts in physics. In this lesson, you learned about both the particle and wave natures of light, as well as how they interact. You are aware of the Photoelectric effect resulting from Albert Einstein’s generosity. In the photoelectric effect, electrons

Wave Front

The link between waves and light rays is the subject of wave optics, also known as physical optics. It is concerned with studying diverse phenomena such as polarisation, diffraction, interference and other occurrences when rays cannot represent geometric optics.  The branch of optics that deals with the behaviour of light and its wave characteristics is

UV Visible Spectroscopy

When we talk about UV spectroscopy or UV–visible spectrophotometry, we’re talking about absorption spectroscopy or reflection spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and neighbouring visible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. This means that it makes use of light that is visible and next to it. The absorption or reflectance of the chemicals involved in the visible spectrum

Tyndall effect dispersion of light

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or a very fine suspension of particles in a liquid. In addition to being known as Tyndall scattering, this phenomenon is similar to Rayleigh scattering in that the intensity of scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength,
