This document discusses electromagnetic waves and interference patterns of light. It introduces Maxwell's equations, which describe electromagnetic wave behavior. It also covers topics like reflection, refraction, thin film interference, and the Michelson interferometer. The key goals are to study interference from multiple coherent light sources and to determine intensity patterns from interference effects.
