从光的衍射看光的本性(国外英文资料) Lets say you have a light source S1, put a screen in front of S1, and the light from S1 will light up the entire screen. We know that the brightness of the screen is related to the number of photons falling on the screen. Strictly speaking, the brightness of the screen is dimmed by the intersection of the screen and the light from the screen. But this change is by no means a chance. Proof is as follows: put the S1 in the center of the ball with a radius R1, assuming that S1 emit N photons in a unit time, are accepted on the unit sphere area on the number of photons is equal to the area of the photon number N by ball 4 PI R12, if the radius of the ball from R1 to R2 (R2 R1), is acceptable on the unit sphere area divided by the number of photons become N 4 PI R22, due to the larger than the R1, R2 so R1 radius for the ball in the unit area on the photon number greater than R2 ball photon number per unit area. This is why the brightness of the screen is caused by the gradual change in light. When the screen is large and the size of the screen is very small, it can be approximated that the photons on the screen are evenly distributed. Now the other coherent light source, S2, is placed near S1, and the situation has changed. Appeared on the two light source in the vertical plane and white circle, light and shade in two parallel plane light source, the light and shade and white stripe as shown in figure a, this is what people call the interference fringes of light. Because interference is the main feature of volatility, it is one of the strongest evidence of the volatility of light. We know, the vibration propagation in the medium mechanical wave is when there are two columns of coherent waves, medium the vibration of any point is two columns each arrived at this wave superposition. When arrived at this point the two columns of wave phase phase at the same time, at this point the amplitude of the largest, if the phase difference of two waves of 1800,
