Diffraction Grating
The diffraction grating is a transparent plate with very narrow lines on the surface. Light (photons) like to go in the same phase. In the same phase, constructive interference occurs. If the phases are different, the … more
Why does a CD reflect rainbow colors?
Adjust the wavelength of light to choose the color of light you want. If you adjust the angle of reflection correctly, the phases of the light may coincide. That angle is the angle at which light … more

Polarization
Polarizers are made of long-chained molecules which absorb light with electric fields. When you shine a light on a polarizer, only a part of the light is passed. The polarizing plate materials absorb only the electric … more
3D Location of the Ursa Minor(Polaris)
Constellations and distance to stars If you look at the sky where there is no light on a clear night, there are so many stars that can not count. Thousands of years ago, the ancients linked … more
Electromagnetic Waves around of Visible Rays
Electromagnetic radiation refers to the electromagnetic field waves radiating through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Types of Electromagnetic Wave Electromagnetic waves are classified … more
Latitude of Polaris
Latitude of Polaris Polaris is far from Earth. Thus, light from the North Star reaches parallel to the Earth. And since the earth is round, the North Star’s latitude varies depending on where it is observed. … more
Thin Film Interference
Interference patterns seen in thin films If a thin oil film is floating on the water, you will see a beautiful pattern appear on the oil film. This is because the two waves interfere with each … more
Why does the moon seem to follow me?
Is the moon really following me? How can you explain that the moon looks follow I? The moon doesn’t follow me. For example, if I go forward with a car, the landscape seems to move backward. … more
Little Prince’s Trampoline
Law of action and reaction When we apply force to an object, that object also exerts the same amount of force on us. At this time, our force is ‘action,’ and the force exerted on us … more
