Abstract This study evaluated the interference of enamel and coronal dentin thickness and ambient light in pulse oximetry interpretation, using SaO 2 the human finger as a reference. Forty-two intact ...

A macroscopic theory of interference and diffraction of light in stationary fields produced by finite sources which emit light within a finite spectral range is formulated. It is shown that a ...

If the opening is much larger than the wavelength, diffraction effects are minimal and often invisible. This phenomenon creates distinctive patterns through the interference of light waves.
