The Optics of Shadow Bands
AI总结：
本文提出一种几何光学模型，将太阳的扩展结构类比为杨氏双缝实验，解释日全食前后阴影带的干涉条纹成因，并定量预测条纹宽度与间距。
摘要：
阴影带是日全食前后瞬间可能出现的明暗相间的瞬态波纹图案。尽管有数百年的报道，其物理起源仍未解决。本预印本发展了一种几何光学解，其中太阳的扩展结构产生了杨氏双缝实验的天体类比，在地面上产生类似干涉的强度图案，并受地球大气效应调制。该分析结合了太阳边缘几何、大气传播效应和基于波的公式，给出了条纹宽度和间距的定量预测。所得模型解释了阴影带的主要观测特征，并阐明了该现象为何既难以捉摸又对观测条件高度敏感。
英文摘要：
Shadow bands are transient, rippling patterns of light and dark that may appear in moments before and after totality in a solar eclipse. Despite centuries of reports, their physical origin has remained unresolved. This article develops a geometric-optical solution in which the Sun's extended structure produces a celestial analog of Young's double-slit experiment, generating an interference and fringes on the ground. The analysis combines solar limb geometry and a wave-based formulation that yields quantitative predictions for fringe width and spacing. Some other properties of shadow bands are also analyzed.
