Why does light produce a pattern similar to an interference pattern when it passes through a single slit?
This phenomenon occurs due to light's wave-like properties. Via diffraction, the bending of light wave about an obstacle, the light wave will interfere and exhibit dark and bright fringes on a screen as a result of this interference.
Can light waves and sound waves interfere with each other if yes why?
They can't interfere.
Monochromatic light passes through 2 parallel slits forms an interference pattern on screen As the distance between the 2 slits is decreased the distance between light bands in the pattern?
The light will be diffracted and an interference pattern of alternate dark and light areas will occur on the wall.
Why was black light invented?
The black light is credited as one of William H. Byler's invention in 1935. It was as a result of his study on phosphors, which is now instrumental in areas such as the entertainment business and forensic science.
Interference in sound is recognized by differences in volume how is interference in light recognized?
Areas of dark and areas of light.

How does the study of light rays impact phones?
Interference can interfere with light signals.
What can interfere with light reflection?
your eyes hurting...Dumbos!
Will ultraviolet light interfer with an xray and can you combine ultraviolet light with xray?
Light will not interfere with another light. It will not combine either. Even laser beams will not interfere with one another if crossed. Only phonons in a material will react with one another.
What happens if 2 light waves with the same amplitude interfere?
Their amplitude is not the important variable - their frequency is . If two light waves of the same frequency interact, then an interference pattern will be seen. This is the basis of the 'double slit' experiment designed to demonstrate that light may be considered to indeed be waves.
Which forms of electromagnetic radiation can interfere with the work of astronomers?
Light. In the form of light pollution in the night sky.
Light reaches areas that are not in direct light by means of?
Light reaches areas that are not in direct light by means of indirect light. The indirect light reaches the areas by reflecting off other surfaces.
What are the light and dark areas on the moon?
the light areas of the moon are called the highlands. the dark areas are called maria.

Can light refract if it hits another strong beam of light?
No!! Light beams of photons do not interfere with one another except in crystals as phonons.
