of refraction. Ibn Sahl first considers refraction on a plane surface. Defining G F {\displaystyle GF} as the plane surface of a piece of crystal of homogenous...

about yesterday, a reference to "Huygens' principle": "Every point of a wave front may be considered as the source of small 'secondary' wavelets, which...

communications at the bottom of this talk page. If you put new stuff up here with the stuff from 2004 it is likely to get ignored. Talk:Double-slit_experiment/Archive...

plain old classical wave mechanics (classical, Huygens style sum-over-histories aka Huygens–Fresnel principle). Here's one way to explain this: you can do...

need to explain index of refraction to cover refraction. Covering geometrical optics without first covering the fundamentals of wave propagation leaves...

the Huygens-Fresnel principle is diffraction. The article now groups reflection of an infinite mirror and propagation in free space in the category of diffraction...

the article Huygens' value is "better" than Newton's. If we use equatorial Earth radius 6378135 m and assume data from article - Huygens (?): 2000 Earth...

particulates, and can be thought of in terms of light bending around the opposite edges (see Huygens Principle) of a spherical particle, creating interference...

within the limits of the uncertainty principle." This needs to be explained or, at the least, a reference should be given. What formulation of the uncertainty...

needs to be expanded by including the formuae for the effective index of refraction for light propagating through a vacuum containing magnetic fields. Count...

density of atoms that is important. If you have a certain density of atoms, then you'll have a certain index of refraction that determines the speed of light...

Christiaan Huygens ... misinterpreted Rømer's value of 22 minutes to mean the time it would take light to cross the diameter of the orbit of the Earth...
