- 3Every point on a wavefront creates a new waveletHuygen's principle
- 4EM waves _____ require a physical mediumdo not
- 5In thin-film interference, the waves constructively interfere when...2t = mλ, where m is any integer
- 6distance between bright spots in a double slit experiment...y = mLλ/d
- 7In thin-film interference, a pi-shift occurs whenThe light enters a medium where it must travel slower.
