Holography relies on the interference of light waves to capture and reconstruct three-dimensional images.

Dennis Gabor, a Hungarian-British physicist, is recognized as the inventor of holography.

Visible light is commonly used in holography, as it allows for the creation of holograms that can be viewed by the human eye.

The reference beam provides a phase reference for the object beam, allowing for the reconstruction of the three-dimensional image.

The resulting interference pattern in holography is called an interferogram, which contains the information necessary to reconstruct the three-dimensional image.

A hologram is reconstructed by illuminating it with a laser beam, which recreates the original interference pattern and allows the three-dimensional image to be viewed.

The three-dimensional image reconstructed from a hologram is called a virtual image, as it appears to be located behind the hologram.

The primary advantage of holography over traditional photography is its ability to capture and display three-dimensional images.

A rainbow hologram is a type of hologram that can be viewed without the need for special illumination, as it utilizes the dispersion of white light to reconstruct the three-dimensional image.

The primary limitation of holography in terms of image resolution is the diffraction limit, which is determined by the wavelength of the light used.

Holographic stereography is the technique of combining multiple holograms to create a single, more detailed hologram.

Holographic lithography is the technique of using holography to create three-dimensional models or objects.

Holographic interferometry is the technique of using holography to study the dynamic behavior of objects.

Holographic microscopy is the technique of using holography to create three-dimensional images of microscopic objects.

One of the primary challenges in the field of holography is developing real-time holography, which would allow for the capture and display of dynamic three-dimensional images.
