Homework Statement
Hi there sorry to keep bombarding you all with these stupid questions but I just can't picture it in my head. In a FTIR machine when the blackbody radiation source is split at the beam splitter and half the frequencies are retarded before making a resultant wave and passing throught the sample and reaching the detector, would I be correct in thinking that all of the frequencies emitted from the blackbody radiation source interfere to produce one resultant wave which is then detected at the detector?
