The Huygens Principle states that every point on a wavefront acts as a source of spherical wavelets, and the field at any point is the sum of these wavelets' complex amplitudes. It was formulated by Huygens in 1690 and further developed by Fresnel to include the concept of interference. ...
The next difficulty is to explain diffraction. To do so, Fresnel replaced Huygens' isolated spherical waves by purely periodic trains of spherical waves, and made use of the principle of interference. He had to restrict his treatment to the case of small wave-lengths, and also had to make ...
Since we have now detected the torus, the principle question that remains post-Cassini is: • What are the relative contributions of Enceladus and Titan to the neutral torus? A neutral mass spectrometer capable of detecting nitrogen densities of <10 cm−3 or an ion mass spectrometer with...
