Iridescence in Computer Graphics using the wave theory

Iridescence is a natural phenomenon which is caused by the wave nature of light. In this report we will be looking at modeling light as a wave to generate interference in light waves, which can then be taken further to create the iridescent effect of the Morpho butterfly. Interference of light and how representing light as waves, as opposed to the more commonly used particle representation, can give us these results.
