Metal Print : Diffraction pattern
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Diffraction pattern
Diffraction pattern formed by laser light passed through cloth. This shows that, in some instances, light can be considered a wave. Passing through narrow holes in the weave of the cloth, the light diffracts (spreads out). This diffracted light then overlaps to produce interference effects that form the pattern seen. The light can constructively or destructively interfere with itself, producing red or black areas respectively. These effects correspond with those expected from waves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing diffraction pattern formed by laser light passing through cloth. It serves as a compelling visual representation of the wave-like nature of light in certain situations. As the laser light traverses through narrow holes within the fabric's weave, it undergoes diffraction, causing it to spread out and create an intricate pattern. The resulting diffracted light then overlaps, giving rise to interference effects that shape the observed design. The interplay between constructive and destructive interference is evident in this image, manifesting as areas colored in vibrant red or deep black respectively. These phenomena align perfectly with what one would expect from waves. This experimental exploration delves into the realm of optics and physics, shedding light on how waves interact with physical structures. By showcasing these intriguing interfering patterns produced by diffracting laser light, this photograph offers a glimpse into the fascinating world where science meets art. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this thought-provoking print invites us to contemplate the fundamental properties of light while appreciating its aesthetic allure. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane materials like cloth can reveal hidden wonders when subjected to scientific experimentation.
