Refraction and Diffraction
This page provides the basic theory (including the examples) of reflection,
refraction and diffraction.
Interference
between two point sources
This java applet let us play with two point sources and watch the effect
of interference. The user can adjust the the wavelength of the wave and
also choose to show the path length in the graph.
Interference
of Sinusoidal Wave forms
An
applet describing interference through ripples in water
This java applet allows the user to adjust both the position of the
slits through which the ripples enter and the frequency of the ripples.
The pattern on the right is the amplitude of the waves striking the extreme
right face of the tank.
2-Point
Source Interference Patterns
A collection of the gif animations that demonstrating the interference
pattern in different cases and the detailed explanations on the interference
pattern.
