Concept explainers

Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

There was a major collision of an asteroid with the Moon in medieval times. It was described by monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England as a red glow on and around the Moon. How long after the asteroid hit the Moon, which is 3.84105km away, would the light first arrive on Earth?
Galileo proposed measuring the speed of light by uncovering a lantern and having an assistant a known distance away uncover his lantern en he saw the light from Galileo’s lantern, and timing the delay. How far away must the assistant be for the delay to equal the human reaction time of about 0.25 s?
On the Moon’s surface, lunar astronauts placed a comet reflector, off which a laser beam Is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time.
