Thin film interference. Simply put, thin film interference is exactly what it suggests a thin film of transparent or translucent surface, which will distort or alter the appearance of light and alters our perception. From the viewers perspective. The most obvious example in design could be said to be water and glass. The apparent film of water over glazing distorts the image beyond, thus creating a thin film of interference. Understanding what is happening to light waves when they meet a thin film of interference will help you understand its best application in design and optimize its use in a given design scenario.

When any incident rays of light from either natural or artificial sources hit a thin film of interference, the wave is split, where a portion of the wave passes through the boundary and a portion is transmitted across the boundary of the surface. This transmission of light waves across the thin film surface boundary creates the distorted image, while the original light wave passes through and gives us an understanding of what lies beyond, but not in clarity. The boundary of interference is the thin film interference, but not an exact representation of what lies beyond. If the medium of the thin film transmitted wave travels through the interference, but both sides of the surface are in alignment. They There will be no distorting of the light waves. This can be best described as glazing, where although the medium is a thin film of interference and interferes with light waves, it emerges on the other side in parallel.

In brief periods where the image does not appear to distort the Lightwave from a crest or a trough of loss will allow for some hint of what lies beyond even if only for a millisecond. As discussed in color for professionals, each wavelength of light is characterized by its own color. So another opportunity in design is using thin film interference to enhance particular light frequencies or subdue others. It's also important to note that the thickness of the thin film has some effect on that The allowable light frequency to pass through it. Most thin film interferences have a better result in subduing higher frequencies of light, including red and yellow. These colors are not often easily transmitted through a thin film boundary.

To get a better understanding of light frequencies and color, I suggest you enroll in my cover course, which will have a digression on this particular light frequency explanation. The importance of thin film interference in design is not understanding frequencies. It is more to do with understanding how light waves can be manipulated with different surface mediums, particularly with the evolution of material sciences and the endless possible abilities with the sorting light to induce a new appearance of an object building or designed for
