Study Notes
Wave Optics
- Wave optics is associated with the phenomenon of diffraction.
- The study of wave optics is concerned with the behavior of light as a wave, particularly when it encounters obstacles or passes through small openings.
- Wave optics explains that light exhibits wave-like properties, such as diffraction and interference.
- The term for the bending of waves around obstacles and the spreading of waves through small openings is diffraction.
- Interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two or more waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same amplitude.
- Polarization is the phenomenon where light waves vibrate in a single plane.
