Huygens Interference

Interactive lab: Place sources and watch wavefronts, diffraction, and interference emerge.

What is this?

A visual, interactive experiment about Huygens Interference. Its main parameters update live and the simulation runs entirely in the browser.

How it works

Every point acts as a secondary source. Amplitude superposition creates wavefronts and far-field fringes spaced by Δy ≈ λL/d.
