Bozeman Science: Physics: Wave Interference

9th - 10th
Paul Andersen explains how waves interact with objects and other waves. When a wave hits a fixed object, it will be reflected and inverted. When a wave hits a free object, it will be reflected without being inverted. [6:24]

Khan Academy: Thin Film Interference Part 1

9th - 10th
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...
