What is Fresnel half period zone?

Fresnel's assumed that a wavefront started from a source can be divided in to a large no. of strips or zone called the Fresnel's zone of small area. if the path difference between secondary wavelets reaching a point on screen started from two consecutive zone is N2(or the phase difference is 2nd) then the zones are called Fresnel's half period zone..


What are the differences between Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction?

FRESENEL DIFFRACTIO1) Both the incident and diffracted wavefronts are spherical or cylindrical.2) the source must be close to he obstacle.FRAUNHOFFER DIFFRACTION1) Both the incident and diffracted wavefronts are plane wavefonts.2) the source must be infinite distance from the obstacle.


Uses of fresnel's biprism?

Fresnel's biprism is commonly used in experiments to study interference and diffraction of light. It can be used to produce interference fringes, measure the wavelength of light, and study wavefront properties. Additionally, it is used in optical systems for generating coherent light sources.


Who discovered the rainbow?

The first recorded theory about the rainbow phenomenon was formulated by Noah, who interpreted it as a sign of God's acceptance of his offering. The rainbow can be represented mathematically in terms of Snell's law (Willebrord Snellius) and the Fresnel boundary equations.


Significant contributions to the fields of vibration and sound musical instruments ultrasonics diffraction optics and magnetism?

Some significant contributions in these fields include the development of the theory of vibrations by Ernst Chladni, the invention of the stethoscope by René Laennec for medical application of sound, the discovery of ultrasonic imaging by George Kossoff for medical diagnostics, the diffraction theory by Augustin-Jean Fresnel in optics, and the study of magnetism by William Gilbert and later advancements by Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell.
