Uh, Jeff, I'm still not certain I go along with this - isn't the above
phenomenon the result of interference (two items of slightly different
wavelengths - or in this case, spacing - resulting in constructive and
destructive addition of the signals at a much longer, and hence visible,
wavelength) rather than intermodulation (the actual multiplication of
sinusoids of different frequencies)?
