interference fringe
(gcide) | Fringe \Fringe\ (fr[i^]nj), n. [OF, fringe, F. frange, prob. fr.
L. fimbria fiber, thread, fringe, cf. fibra fiber, E. fiber,
fimbriate.]
1. An ornamental appendage to the border of a piece of stuff,
originally consisting of the ends of the warp, projecting
beyond the woven fabric; but more commonly made separate
and sewed on, consisting sometimes of projecting ends,
twisted or plaited together, and sometimes of loose
threads of wool, silk, or linen, or narrow strips of
leather, or the like.
[1913 Webster]
2. Something resembling in any respect a fringe; a line of
objects along a border or edge; a border; an edging; a
margin; a confine.
[1913 Webster]
The confines of grace and the fringes of repentance.
--Jer. Taylor.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Opt.) One of a number of light or dark bands, produced by
the interference of light; a diffraction band; -- called
also interference fringe.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Bot.) The peristome or fringelike appendage of the
capsules of most mosses. See Peristome.
[1913 Webster] |
Interference fringe
(gcide) | Interference \In`ter*fer"ence\, n. [See Interfere.]
[1913 Webster]
1. The act or state of interfering; as, the stoppage of a
machine by the interference of some of its parts; a
meddlesome interference in the business of others.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Physics) The mutual influence, under certain conditions,
as from streams of light, or pulsations of sound, or,
generally, two waves or vibrations of any kind, producing
certain characteristic phenomena, as colored fringes, dark
bands, or darkness, in the case of light, silence or
increased intensity in sounds; neutralization or
superposition of waves generally.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The term is most commonly applied to light, and the
undulatory theory of light affords the proper
explanation of the phenomena which are considered to be
produced by the superposition of waves, and are thus
substantially identical in their origin with the
phenomena of heat, sound, waves of water, and the like.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Patent Law) The act or state of interfering, or of
claiming a right to the same invention.
[1913 Webster]
Interference figures (Optics), the figures observed when
certain sections of crystallized bodies are viewed in
converging polarized light; thus, a section of a uniaxial
crystal, cut normal to the vertical axis, shows a series
of concentric colored rings with a single black cross; --
so called because produced by the interference of luminous
waves.
Interference fringe. (Optics) See Fringe.
