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: 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.
