Elementary Quantum Physics 3.1 Photons - Light: e.m "waves" - interference, diffraction, refraction, reflection with Ey y Velocity = c Direction of Propagation x z x Bz Fig. 3.1: The classical view of light as an electromagnetic wave. An electromagnetic wave is a travelling wave which has time varying electric and magnetic fields which are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.

(a) Diffraction of X-rays from a single crystal gives a diffraction pattern of bright spots on a photographic film. (b) Diffraction of X-rays from a powdered crystalline material or a polycrystalline material gives a diffraction pattern of bright rings on a photographic film. (c) X-ray diffraction involves constructive interference of waves being "reflected" by various atomic planes in the crystal. From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Second Edition, S.O.

Its PE at A is less than the PE at D. When the car is the bottom its energy is totally KE. CD is the energy barrier which prevents the car making to E.
