    is exactly an integral number of wavelengths‚ the waves recombine in phase‚ and constructive interference occurs. If the path lengths differ by exactly one half-wavelength‚ the waves are out of phase when they recombine and destructive interference occurs. THEORY Thin film interference can occur when two glass plates are placed in contact at one end and are separated by some small distance t at the other. Consider a monochromatic light wave of wavelength λ striking the glass plates at right

    both of these purposes. Another type of wave‚ though not on the spectrum because it is not light‚ are sound waves. Weather the wave is a sound wave or a light wave it consists of the basic similar parts. These waves all contain wavelength and frequency. A longer wavelength will mean a smaller energy level‚ as to where a shorter wave length makes the wave more compact and it will have a higher energy level. Some of the energy levels can become so high that they may become harmful. Other waves may have

    What is Remote Sensing? Remote sensing‚ in simplest words‚ means acquiring information about an object without touching the object itself.  Conventionally‚ however remote sensing has come to imply that the sensor and the target are located remotely apart and the electromagnetic radiation serves as a link between the sensor and the object‚ the sun being the major source of energy illuminating the earth. The part of this energy is reflected‚ absorbed and transmitted by the surface. A sensor records

    central chlorophyll molecule to do photosynthesis. Light contains all the colours of the visible light spectrum‚ from red to violet. Each colour has a different wavelength. The highest energy light is at the purple or violet end of the scale. It has short wavelengths. The red end is lower energy‚ it has long wavelengths. The shorter the wavelength the more energy a colour has. The colour you see when you look at an object is the colour that light is reflecting back at your eye. Plant leaves usually look

    wavelength of light. Because the velocity of light in air is always greater than that through a liquid‚ the refractive index is a number greater than 1; for example‚ hexane n20D 1.3751. The superscript 20 indicates that the measurement was made at 20 oC‚ and the subscript D refers to the yellow D-line of a sodium vapor lamp‚ light with a wavelength of 589 nm. The measurement is made with a refractometer using a few drops of liquid. Compensation is made within the instrument for the fact that white
