Wave Optics
• Light has wave-like properties that are more
easily observed in certain situations than in
others
• Waves from two sources arriving at a common
point will interfere constructively or
destructively
• This depends on the phase difference of the
waves when they arrive at that point

Interference
• Coherent light: – The phase is correlated over time and space
– The phase is not random
• Two sources of waves:
�� � = � cos � + ��
�� � = � cos � + ��
�� � + �� � = 2A cos � cos �
� =�� + ��
2• Constructive interference: � = 0
• Destructive interference: � = �

Interference
• What contributes to the phase difference?
– Different initial phase
– Different propagation distances

– Propagation in different media (�� = �/�)

Thin Film Interference
These are examples of interference from thin films:
Iridescence, structural
coloration
White light vs red light

Summary so far…
TWO KEY IDEAS
Two ways to produce a phase difference
between two waves:
1. One wave travels an extra distance
2. A reflection from an optically dense material
produces a phase change of � upon
reflection.(A phase change of � is the same as a path length difference of �/2)

The underlying physics of the problem is the same as before
Bright spots
Bright spots on a viewing screen are produced by the
constructive interference of light from many, many slits.

Example
Light of unknown wavelength is directed onto a diffraction
grating, forming a third order bright fringe which is located on a
screen 18.7 mm from the center bright line. If the distance
between the screen and the diffraction grating is 1 m, what is
the wavelength of the light?
The diffraction grating has 10 slits/mm.
1. What is �?
10 slits/mm = 0.1 mm/slit
