Abstract:
In this paper, we used ImageJ as image processing software for analysis of the data obtained from experiments in optics physics laboratory. We employed the software to investigate the interference and diffraction patterns obtained from Newton's rings, Fresnel biprism and the diffraction patterns acquired by diffraction gratings. ImageJ is a free software that is extensively used in scientific research for measurement and inquiry. The program is very easy to use and merely demands computational hardware resources that can be found on usual computers. It is also easy to understand by most of the students while being very efficient and accurate. The tool is extremely useful and precise, helping the students to focus on understanding the concepts. It can be also adapted to many laboratories assisting to improve their educational aptitudes.
