To begin our exploration of wave interference‚ consider two pulses of the same amplitude traveling in different directions along the same medium. Let’s suppose that each displaced upward 1 unit at its crest and has the shape

    Experiment 112-5 Thin Film Interference Introduction When two waves of equal intensity combine‚ the intensity of the resulting wave can be anywhere between zero and four times the intensity of the individual waves‚ depending upon the phase difference between them. When they are in phase (the maxima coincide with maxima and the minima coincide with minima)‚ maximum intensity results. When they are exactly out of phase (the maxima of one wave coincide with the minima of the other wave)‚ the
