Arise Quote by Max von Laue
“For both reasons, owing to the thermal motion and to the working together of various wavelengths, factors arise which, in a similar manner to the structural factor, exert some influence upon the brightness of the interference points but not upon their location.”
About This Quote
Source Lecture: Physics of Light Interference, Max von Laue, 1920s
Thermal motion and wavelength interactions affect brightness of interference patterns, not their positions.
In simple terms: Physical factors change brightness, not location.
