Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Waves: Behavior of Waves: Interference of Waves
Students discover wave interference, the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium.
Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Sound Waves and Music: Interference and Beats
Illustrated diagrams and interactive practice problems show constructive and destructive interference occurring at sound beats.
Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Light Waves and Color: Two Point Source Interference
Students examine the findings of Thomas Young's light experiment, which showed that an interference pattern results when light from two sources meets up while traveling through the same medium.
Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Light Waves/ Color: Other Two Point Source Interference
Where can we experience the phenomenon that light taking two paths from two locations to the same point in space can undergo constructive and destructive interference? There are several answers to these questions and they will be...
