Description
Optics a soap bubble exhibiting interference colors. In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same amplitude. Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other, either because they come from the same source or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency. Interference effects can be observed with all types of waves, for example, light, radio, acoustic, surface water waves or matter waves.Colored mezzotint by Maximilien Honoré Francois Rapine, 1883 after Blaise Alexandre Desgoffe.
