in a room about 100 yards over that way,
-
and the trick it uses is the same one Newton used
-
to measure the distance of the air gap for Newton's rings,
-
or that Hooke explained by the pulses, right?
-
And it's interference that comes from scattering.
-
So you've seen oil on water, thin layers of oil on water,
-
and you see rainbows in them. Why?
-
Okay, so light comes in and scatters from two surfaces,
-
that let's say are 200 nanometers apart. Okay?
-
So the path difference between the one that reflects from the top
-
and the one that reflects from the bottom,
-
the difference is 400 nanometers;
