What are localised and non localised fringes?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Localized fringes refer to patterns that are confined to a specific area, while non-localized fringes extend over a broader region. This distinction is crucial in optics and wave theory, where the behavior of light and interference patterns can vary significantly based on the localization of these fringes. Understanding the difference between localized and non-localized fringes is essential for applications in imaging and optical systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic knowledge of wave theory
  • Understanding of optical interference
  • Familiarity with fringe patterns in optics
