Physics: Thin Film Interference part 1
Thin film interference occurs when light waves reflecting off the top and bottom surfaces of a thin film interfere with one another. This type of interference is the reason that thin films, such as oil or soap bubbles, form colorful patterns.
Physics
Learn about the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. Solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry necessary.
Interference of light waves
In these videos and articles you'll learn how overlapping light waves can cause constructive and destructive interference. Some examples of light interference that will be discussed include Young's double slit interference, single slit interference, and thin fil…
