Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

White light interferometry (WLI) is a non‐contact optical method that exploits the interference of broadband light to obtain high‐resolution three‐dimensional maps of surface topographies. By ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these patterns ...
