The interference produces a pattern of beautiful colors in white light, or dark and light bands in monochromatic light. In this case it is light waves that are being reflected from the front and rear surfaces of thin soap or oil films. So if you hold a hair straight up through the middle of your laser beam right next to the pointer, you'll get the same diffraction pattern out as you would have if you'd shot the beam through a single slit of the same size. What it shows: Waves reflecting from two surfaces can interfere constructively and destructively. Because of Babinet's Principle, a slit in the middle of a barrier gives pretty much the same diffraction pattern as just a barrier of the same size as the slit. You can actually prove this yourself with a hair and a laser pointer. The only reason I could think of for HAVING a lens would be to have a converging lens focus an interference pattern town to a smaller area (say, if you want to save a meter wide interference pattern on a 5 mm CCD chip). Goal: To observe a single slit diffraction pattern and the double slit diffraction-interference pattern. In the correct place in between them, you get destructive interference. These particular wavelets represent the PEAK of a wave, so wherever the wavelets intersect, you get constructive interference. Diffraction And Interference The phenomena of diffraction occurs for all waves. We can think about that in terms of Huygens' Principle, where instead of rays, you represent light as a bunch of little wavelets like below. Rays will automatically "converge" on their own due to diffraction. You don't need to place a lens between your slit plane and your screen for either a Young's double slit setup or for a typical single slit setup. Oil is dropped onto a water surface and the interference pattern is observed.Nope. The same demonstration is included in the section tiltled Polarization. In this manner, the double-slit interference pattern is demonstrated. Diffraction results from constructive and destructive interference each point on the slit acts as a source of waves intensity d/o the angle of diffraction Diffraction from monochromatic light through a single slit consists of a broad central band (central max. As the standard polarizer is placed between the two sheets and rotated, wave motion from two separate coherent sources is simulated. Interference and Diffraction Interference and Diffraction Double-Slit Interference Two overlapping transparencies on the overhead projector are used to simulate the interference from two coherent sources. At a given point, the path length difference determines whether the waves interfere constructively or destructively. When both polarizing sheets with concentric rings are overlapped and placed on the overhead projector, the double-slit interference pattern is observed. Interference and Diffraction Two-source interference For any two sources of the same frequency, oscillating in phase, we can explain the complex pattern of constructive and destructive interference by the same reasoning we did in 1D. Diffraction results from the interference of an infinite number of waves emitted by a continuous distribution of source points.
Diffraction is the tendency of a wave emitted from a finite source or passing through a finite aperture to spread out as it propagates.
As the standard polarizing sheet is rotated, wave motion is simulated. Diffraction, and interference are phenomena observed with all waves. When one of these sheets is placed on an overhead projector with a standard polarizing sheet overlayed, the rings appear as concentric circles. Two polarizing sheets are prepared with adjacent concentric rings, each with slightly different polarization orientation.
