Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and his student Nagendra Nath published a series of papers in 1936 on the diffraction of light by a liquid in the field of a high frequency sound wave. This was ...

A new plasmonic fiber probe uses linearly polarized light and energy recycling for broadband nanofocusing with resolution ...

A sharp-edged aperture is a promising solution for eliminating side lobes from superoscillatory waves. Optical superoscillation refers to a wave packet that can oscillate locally in a frequency ...

Diffraction is a classic optical phenomenon accounting for the light propagation. The efficient calculation of diffraction is of significant value towards the real-time prediction of light fields. The ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

Diffraction gratings are curious things. Score a series of equally spaced tiny lines in a surface, and it will cause reflected or transmitted light to bend and separate into its component wavelengths.

Get Part ‒ II of CBSE Class 12th Physics Notes on chapter 10: Wave Optics of NCERT physics class 12th textbook. Most of the important concepts are already covered in Part - I. Now, topics covered in ...

Optical computing could benefit from the recent development of a novel electromagnetic wave. An unusual wave that does not spread out as it travels could become a key component in speedy computer ...

Difference between Interference and Diffraction: This article covers an important topic from Class 12 Physics. As we all know, Physics is one of the toughest subjects in Class 12. With the vast amount ...
