2. Huygens Principle, Reflection, Refraction
BC = v_1 \tau
\sin i = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{v_1\tau}{AC}
\sin r = \frac{AE}{AC} = \frac{v_2\tau}{AC}
\frac{\sin i}{\sin r} = \frac{v_1}{v_2}
n_2 = \frac{c}{v_2}
3. Interference of Waves and Young's Experiment
S_1P \sim S_2P = n\lambda
S_1P \sim S_2P = (n + \frac{1}{2})\lambda
I = 4I_0 \cos^2 (\phi/2)
x = x_n = \frac{n\lambda D}{d}
x = x_n = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \frac{\lambda D}{d}
4. Diffraction
Central maximum at θ = 0
Secondary maxima at θ ≈ (n+1/2)λ/a
Minima at θ ≈ nλ/a
