Chapter 31, Problem 18A

To determine

To Explain: The difference between the image of a hologram and a common photograph.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Hologram: it is the recording of the pattern of interference that uses diffraction for reproducing a 3D light field, which gives an image that still has the parallax, depth and original scene properties. Thus, it is the photograph with complete information.

Hologram image	Common photograph.
It is a positive pattern	It is a negative pattern construct on the film
It gives a 3-D image	It gives a 2-D image
Monochromatic and coherent light source are required.	No special light source are required.
It gives more information about the image	It gives less information about the image
Multiple image can be superimposed together.	Multiple image cannot be superimposed together.
