home experiment - What are the lines visible between two cards held edge-to-edge?


Hold two cards (say credit cards) edge to edge, anything from a very slight touch to about 1/3 mm separation, in front of any ordinary light source. When I do this I see several fine dark parallel lines in the gap. What are those? Are they discussed in elementary texts?
