Is the de Broglie wavelength of a photon equal to the EM wavelength of the radiation?
Is the de Broglie (matter) wavelength $\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$ of a photon equal to the electromagnetic wavelength of the radiation?
I guess yes, but how come that photons have both a matter wave and an ...

How does a Fresnel rhomb work (half and quarter wave plate)?
How does a Fresnel rhomb work (half and quarter wave plate)?
I am aware of birefringence, which creates a phase shift of $\Delta\phi=\dfrac{2\pi\Delta nL}{\lambda_0}$. But this doesn't explain how a ...

How do you super impose two or more signals to occupy a fix area of space with the resultant summed wave?
Is it possible to super-impose two or more signals all sent from different directions as a standing wave with the resulting summed wave occupying a fix area of space that is also a complex area?
Do ...

What is the Zero-dispersion wavelength?
There are a decent number of complex mathematical descriptions of the zero-dispersion wavelength online, but I can't seem to find any basic explanations. So to be redundant, what is it?
