wave-optics-audit-cites-every-source - Wave Optics: Interference and Diffraction Step by Step

The capstone accepts only a source-bound chain across interference, diffraction, grating, and film checks. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

The audit collects five checked sources

The capstone is a source ledger. It does not recompute a new physics claim; it checks that each earlier source is pinned and accepted.

\text{sources}=5

Each source contributes one checked value

The audit table keeps the source values visible before the final accepted bit is read.

\begin{array}{c|c} \text{source}&\text{checked value}\\\Delta&4\ \text{m}\\y&8\ \text{m}\\\text{slit accepted}&1\\\text{grating accepted}&1\\\text{film accepted}&1\end{array}

The final wave-optics claim cites every source

The audit accepts only a coherent chain of path, Young fringe, diffraction, grating, and thin-film sources.

\Delta=4\ \text{m};\quad y=8\ \text{m};\quad \text{slit accepted}=1;\quad \text{film accepted}=1
