6D10.10 - Double Slit Experiment


Double Slit Experiment Demo
Double Slit Experiment Demo



Code: 6D10.10


Demo Title: Double Slit Experiment


Subject: Interference from 2 Sources


Description:
When light passes through 2 adjacent slits of size comparable to that of the wavelength, we get pattern of maxima and minima.


Procedure:

  • Dave passes green laser through double slits of different separation.
  • As he shows double slits of increasing separation the pattern becomes better (The maxima and minima are better resolved).
