White light consists of a mixture of many different colors. Each color will have different interference patterns, making observation difficult.

Is white light produces interference pattern?

white light doesn't produce interference patterns because white light is the entire spectrum of light. only light of a singular frequency produces interference patterns. white light does actually produce interference patterns but because there are so many frequencies involved the patterns blend with each other and are not detectable by eye.


What color is next to white and what is the farthest from white in the interference pattern when a source of white light is used in Young's Double Slit experiment?

I think the farthest color next to white is red


What do the white areas in the interference pattern represent?

The interference of white light creates a spectra. The different wave lengths are each diffracted to a different extent causing successive interference of the colors


Why do you not see constructive and destructive interference of white light?

Because there are too many wave lengths to overlap.


A thin film appears cyan when illuminated with white light the color being cancelled by destructive interference is?

Red


A thin film appears cyan when illuminated with white light the color being cancelled by destructuve interference is?

Red


Why is sodium light used instead of white ordinary light in newton's rings?

Newton's rings are caused by interference of light waves. When monochromatic light is used, then newton's rings are alternately dark and bright .When white light is used then a few coloured rings are visible.After that due to overlapping of rings of different colours , the rings cannot be viewed. The different colored rings are obtained because of different wavelength of colors. the order of colors depend on order of ring.


According to physics what is the construction of rainbow?

White light is made by all the colours creating constructive interference. When light passes through water, the light is refracted but they are all refracted differently creating a spectrum of the colours making white light, a rainbow.


Is a prism used to turn white light into black light?

No. It is used to split white light into its separate colors.


Which kind of interference results in bright bands of light?

Constructive Interference


Interference in sound is recognized by differences in volume how is interference in light recognized?

Areas of dark and areas of light.


How do coincidence and interference of light rays differ?

Coincidence of light creates bright areas and interference of light creates darker areas.
