Interference of Light

Interference of light is a natural phenomenon observed almost everywhere. A pair of light waves pass over each other and create interference. Interference typically takes place in electromagnetic waves, and the most obvious example of interference is seen in light. Optical interference is responsible for the formation of rainbows or even the visibility of various

Interference

In physics, interference is a phenomenon where two waves interfere to form a resulting wave of greater, lesser, or equal amplitude. Constructive and destructive interference arise from the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent, either because they originate from the same source or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency.

Harmonics And Fundamental Modes

The fundamental frequency or original wave is known as the first harmonic. The following harmonics are referred to as higher harmonics. The fundamental frequency of every harmonic is periodic and the total number of harmonics is also periodic at that particular frequency. The fundamental frequency of a vibrating body is its lowest resonant frequency. Most

Fundamental Modes of Vibration

Introduction Standing Waves (Waves that are still in motion)  When a wave (sound, heat, light, etc.) is restricted to a finite region of space (string, pipe, hollow, etc. ), it produces a spectrum of vibrating patterns known as “standing waves”. A wave’s frequency is quantised when it is constrained. The existence of stationary states (energy

An Ultimate Guide on the Uses of Beats

Beats are alternate loud and soft sounds. When two different sound frequencies interfere with each other, their difference sounds as beats. They are a result of the superposition of waves. Both sound waves involved have slightly different frequencies. When such waves overlap with each other, we obtain constructive and destructive parts in the resultant wave.
