Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Interference and Diffraction.
00:07 At the end of this tutorial you will be able to,
00:11 Verify the relation between wavelength and relative intensity.
00:16 Find the relation between slit width, maxima and minima.
00:21 Calculate the angle for the given maxima.
00:24 Interpret diffraction intensity profile.
00:28 Verify the relation between wavelength and angle.
00:33 Here I am using,

Ubuntu Linux OS version 16.04, Firefox Web Browser version 62.0.3

00:46 To follow this tutorial,

learner should be familiar with Apps on Physics.

00:52 For Pre-requisites tutorials please visit this site.
00:58 I have already downloaded Apps on Physics to my Downloads folder.
01:03 In this tutorial we will use,

Interference of Light at a Double Slit and Diffraction of Light by a Single Slit Apps.

01:13 Right click on doubleslit_en.htm file.
01:18 Select the Open With Firefox web Browser option.

App opens in the browser.

01:25 The App shows Young’s double slit experiment for the interference pattern.
01:32 The setup includes a slit and a semicircular screen.
01:39 On the green panel we can change the wavelength of the source light.
01:44 Here the range of the wavelength is from 380 nanometer to 780 nanometer.

This is the range of visible spectrum.

01:56 We can also enter the value of wavelength in the text-box.
02:03 Let us see how change in wavelength changes the interference pattern.
02:09 Drag the Wavelength slider to 380 nanometer
02:14 Click on Intensity profile radio button at the bottom of the green panel.
02:20 Drag the Wavelength slider slowly towards higher wavelength.
02:25 Observe the graph showing dark and bright fringes in the intensity profile.
02:32 As the wavelength increases, distance between dark and bright fringes increases.
02:40 Next Drag the Angle slider here we can change the angle from 0 degrees to 90 degrees.
02:48 Note that as we change the angle, white arrows shifts their position.
02:55 This shift is also shown in the graph.
03:00 Scroll down the screen.
03:03 Here the conditions for maxima and minima are given.
03:08 For more details please read the additional material provided in this tutorial.
03:15 Press F5 key on the keyboard to reset the App.
03:20 Scroll up and increase the spacing between the slit to 2000 nanometer.
03:26 Now click on the Maxima drop down.

Here we will see more options for the k value.

03:36 Click on the Minima drop down.
03:38 Note that the first minima is formed at 8.6 degrees.
03:44 Click on the second minima that is k=2.
03:49 The white arrows shift to the second minima in both screen and graph.
03:56 Here the Relative intensity changes to zero(0).
04:01 Zero indicates dark fringe.
04:05 The waves superimpose and are out of phase to give zero intensity.

This is destructive interference.

04:15 Click on the Intensity profile radio button.
04:19 Here note that the red points indicate zero intensity.
04:25 Now click on Maxima drop down and select k=3.
04:32 The red point has shifted to the third peak.
04:36 The Relative intensity has changed to 1.
04:41 Here the waves superimpose to form a wave with maximum intensity.
04:48 This is constructive interference.

This constructive interference results in a bright fringe.

04:56 Click on Interference pattern radio button at the bottom of the green panel.
05:03 Note that the interference graph shows equally spaced dark and bright fringes.
05:11 Therefore the value of relative intensity only shows 0 and 1.
05:18 Press F5 key on the keyboard to reset the App.
05:23 Let us calculate the value of angle for first maxima.
05:29 To do so we can rearrange the equation given in the interface

α = sin-1(kλ/d)

05:41 Take the value of k as 1 since we have to calculate the angle for the first maxima.
05:49 Take the value of wavelength and spacing between slit as shown on interface.
05:56 Next substitute the values in the formula.
06:00 The calculated value of angle of first maxima is 36.86 degree.
06:09 Let us compare with the value shown in the App.
06:13 Click on the Maxima drop down and select k=1.
06:18 Observe that the value of the angle next to K=1 is 36.9 degrees.
06:27 The value is comparable with the calculated value.
06:32 As an Assignment

Change the Spacing between slits to 3500 nm and Calculate the angle of fourth and fifth maxima.

06:45 Let us move on to the next App.
06:48 Follow the same steps as shown earlier while opening the App.
06:54 The Diffraction of Light by a Single Slit opens on the screen.
07:00 This App shows the setup of diffraction through a single slit experiment.
07:06 This set up is also known as Fraunhofer's Diffraction at a single slit.
07:12 scroll down to see the conditions for maxima and minima.
07:17 Scroll up and select Intensity profile radio button.
07:23 Observe that, only one central bright region is seen.
07:28 This intensity decreases as we move away from the center.
07:34 In the green panel, click on the Width of slit text-box and enter 3000 nanometer.
07:42 Observe that a number of alternate dark and bright fringes are formed
07:48 Now click on the Maxima drop down.
07:51 Observe that the central maxima is at 0 degrees.
07:57 It shows Relative intensity as 1. This is the maximum intensity.
08:04 From the Maxima drop down select k=1.
08:09 Here the Relative intensity decreases from 1 to 0.0472.
08:18 Again click on Maxima drop down and select k=2.
08:25 The Relative intensity decreases to 0.0165.
08:32 Know Click on the Minima drop down and select k =2
08:38 The value of Relative intensity is shown as 0.
08:43 Click on Minima drop down and select k=4.
08:49 Note that for every dark fringe the value of relative intensity will remain zero.
08:57 Here I have made the table to show the relative intensity for maxima and minima.
09:05 Observe the relative intensity for maxima.
09:08 The Relative intensity decreases as we move away from central region.
09:15 For each minima, we have seen that the value remains zero for the relative intensity.
09:23 Drag the Wavelength slider to its highest value that is to 780 nm.

This is the region of red light.

09:34 Next click on Maxima drop down.

Here we see four bright fringes.

09:41 Next drag the slider of Wavelength to its lowest value that is to 380 nanometer.

This is the region of violet light.

09:53 Now click on the Maxima drop down.
09:56 Here we can see eight positions for bright fringes.
10:01 This happens because violet light refracts more than red light.
10:07 Hence we see more number of bright fringes for violet light.
10:13 Drag the Wavelength slider to 520 nm.
10:18 Click on Maxima drop down and select first bright fringe.
10:23 Here the first bright fringe is formed at an angle of 14.4 degrees.
10:31 Again drag the slider of Wavelength to 720 nanometer.
10:37 Click on the Maxima drop down and select K=1.
10:42 Here the first bright fringe is formed at an angle of 20.1 degrees.
10:49 Hence we conclude that if we increase the wavelength, angle also increases.
10:56 Scroll down the screen.

This is shown in the formula.

11:02 Here, the angle is directly proportional to the wavelength.
11:07 As an assignment,

Change the wavelength to 380 nm and width of slit to 5000 nm.

11:17 Use the table as shown earlier in this tutorial for your reference.
11:23 Tabulate the total number of maxima and minima.
11:28 For each maxima tabulate the value of relative intensity from the App.
