Sentence examples for phase of the light from inspiring English sources

The eyepiece can also be equipped with a polarization retarder, which shifts the phase of the light between selected polarization directions and which can be rotated to measure the amount of elliptic polarization produced by the specimen.

Illumination of this kind, when there is no fixed relationship between the phase of the light at any pair of points in the incident beam, is said to be incoherent illumination.

If the illumination of the object is coherent, however, then there is a fixed relationship between the phase of the light at all pairs of points in the incident beam.

To determine the resultant image intensity under this condition for a two point object requires that the amplitude and phase of the light in the image of each point be determined.

An apparatus that polarizes the light beam separating it into two slightly different paths and then reintegrating it into one path is inserted before and after the area T to bring out details of the phase of the light as it progresses from left to right.

The propagation of light through such an object provides a change in the optical path across the object, as well as a resulting shift in the phase of the light that has passed through the structure of interest relative to light passing around the structure.

Using cells expressing the BR mutant D85N, we monitored transitions between intermediate-state homologues of the reprotonation phase of the light-activated proton pumping mechanism.
