A note on Talbot's bands
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
A simple formula is obtained for the visibility of Talbot's bands. This formula shows that the bands occur only if the glass plate is inserted at one particular side of the telescope objective, and that when they occur, their visibility is proportional to the plate thickness up to a certain optimum thickness, and then decreases linearly, vanishing at and beyond twice the optimum thickness.
