Description

Interferometry is a technique used to measure the interference of waves, typically light or radio waves, to determine various properties such as distance, surface irregularities, and refractive index. It is widely utilized in fields such as optics, astronomy, and engineering for precise measurements.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'interferometría' may be used in both scientific and clinical contexts, particularly in research settings. Common variants may include 'interferometría óptica' or 'interferometría de microondas'. It is crucial to maintain the formal register and avoid colloquial terms.

Example Sentences
