Description

This lecture covers the effects of polarization in optics, focusing on the superposition of two plane waves and the interference patterns that result from their combination. The instructor explains how to calculate the intensity of the sum of two waves and discusses the concept of beats between close frequencies. Additionally, the lecture delves into phase and group speeds, dispersion in materials like glass, and the relationship between phase, group, and dispersion velocities.
