| Feb 21, 2013 at 4:57 | comment | added | user10851 | Yes - I have a friend who does it. But this is definitely an area where I'm not very knowledgeable, so I hope someone else gives a full explanation. | |
| Feb 21, 2013 at 0:33 | comment | added | krfkeith | @ChrisWhite I'm confused by what you mean. Are you saying it is possible to actually draw the interference fringes by hand? How? Aren't they extremely small (small as in, smaller than the wavelength of visible light)? | |
