Lesson: Holography

Physics

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe how the phase differences of coherent light waves can be used to produce three-dimensional images.

Worksheet: 16 Questions

Q1:

The diagram shows a laser being used to record a holographic image of a cylindrical object and then to display the image recorded on the holographic plate. Which of the virtual images shown would be observed by a viewer at the position shown?

Q2:

The diagram shows some apparatus used in holography, including a cylindrical object. Which of the labeled components is a beam splitter?

Q3:

The diagram shows a laser being used to display an image recorded on a holographic plate.

Which of the following wave phenomena occurs at the point labeled I in the diagram?

Which of the following wave phenomena occurs at the points labeled II and III in the diagram?
