The Principle of Linear Superposition The Principle of Linear
... • Suppose a light beam is incident on a narrow slit. If the light traveled in straight lines after passing through the slit, only the region directly opposite to the slit would be illuminated. • Instead, Huygens’ principle requires that the wave spreads out. In other words, the light deviates from a ...

... We can think of it as the Bose condensate for light: one photon that bounces back and forth in a cavity with two highly reflecting mirror, stimulates two photons into the same state as the original photon. So we get a huge amount of coherent radiation very quickly in this way. If one of the mirrors ...

... Note that the mirror appears to have two flat sides but only one is shiny. The shiny side is the one you want to use for alignment. The rotational speed is set and read with the motor controller placed near the observation point. All alignment is done with R stationary and the motor controller off. ...

Thomas Young (scientist)

Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He ""made a number of original and insightful innovations""in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Young has been described as ""The Last Man Who Knew Everything"".
