Every point on a Huygens' principle
wavefront may be
considered the source of
secondary wavelets that
spread out in all directions
with a speed equal to the
speed of propagation of
the waves.
The bending of light that Diffraction
passes near the edge of
an object or through a
narrow slit, causing the
light to spread.
The overlapping and Superposition
combining of waves.
The result of superposing Interference
different waves, usually of
the same wavelength.
Constructive interference
results from crest-to-crest
reinforcement; destructive
interference results from
crest-to-trough
cancellation. The
interference of selected
wavelengths of light
produces colors known as
interference colors.
The alignment of the Polarization
transverse electric
vibrations of
electromagnetic radiation.
Such waves of aligned
vibrations are said to be
polarized.
