In this tutorial we will use,

Interference of Light at a Double Slit

and Diffraction of Light by a Single Slit Apps.

Right click on doubleslit_en.htm file.

Select the Open With Firefox web Browser option.

Cursor on the App.

Right click on doubleslit_en.htm file.

Select the Open With Firefox web Browser option.

App opens in the browser.

Point to the set-up. The App shows Young’s double slit experiment for the interference pattern.
Point to the slit and semicircular black colour screen. The setup includes a slit and a semicircular screen.
Point to the Wavelength. On the green panel we can change the wavelength of the source light.
Cursor on the Wavelength slider.

Drag the Wavelength slider.

Here the range of the wavelength is from 380 nanometer to 780 nanometer.

This is the range of visible spectrum.

Enter value 650 nm and show. We can also enter the value of wavelength in the text-box.
Cursor on the interface. Let us see how change in wavelength changes the interference pattern.
Drag the Wavelength slider to 380 nm. Drag the Wavelength slider to 380 nm.
Click on Intensity profile radio button. Click on Intensity profile radio button at the bottom of the green panel.
Drag the Wavelength slider.

Point the cursor on the graph.

Drag the Wavelength slider slowly towards higher wavelength.

Observe the graph showing dark and bright fringes in the intensity profile.

Cursor on the graph. As the wavelength increases, distance between dark and bright fringes increases.
Point to the Spacing between slit and Angle slider. Below the wavelength slider there are two more sliders.

These slider are Spacing between slit and Angle.

Drag the Spacing between slit slider.

Point to the slit in the yellow panel.

Let us now drag the Spacing between slit slider.

Observe the increase in the spacing between the slit.

Drag the Angle slider to show the changes. Drag the Angle slider here we can change the angle 0 degrees to 90 degrees.
Point the cursor to show the movement of white arrows Note that as we change the angle, white arrows shifts their position.
Drag the Angle slider and point to show the shift in the graph. This shift is also shown in the graph.
Scroll down. Scroll down the screen.
Point to show the condition for maxima and minima Here the conditions for maxima and minima are given.

For more details please read the additional material provided in this tutorial.

Press F5 key on the keyboard to restart the App. Press F5 key on the keyboard to reset the App.
Drag the slider of Spacing between the slit to 2000. Scroll up and increase the spacing between the slit to 2000 nm.
Click on the Maxima drop down.

Move the cursor to show all the values.

Now click on the Maxima drop down.

Here we will see more options for the k value.

Click on the Minima drop down. Click on the Minima drop down.
Point to first minima(k=1). Note that the first minima is formed at 8.6 degrees.
Click on the second minima(k=2). Click on the second minima that is k=2.
Point to show both screen and graph. The white arrows shift to the second minima in both screen and graph.
Point to show the Relative intensity. Here the Relative intensity changes to zero(0).

Zero indicates dark fringe.

The waves superimpose and are out of phase to give zero intensity.

This is destructive interference.

Click on Intensity profile radio button. Click on the Intensity profile radio button.
Point to the red point on the intensity profile graph. Here note that the red points indicate zero intensity.
Click on Maxima drop down. Select k=3. Now click on Maxima drop down and select k=3.
Point to the red point.

Point the cursor to Relative intensity.

The red point has shifted to the third peak.

The Relative intensity has changed to 1.

Here the waves superimpose to form a wave with maximum intensity.

This is constructive interference.

This constructive interference results in a bright fringe.

Click on Interference pattern radio button. Click on Interference pattern radio button at the bottom of the green panel.
Cursor on the graph. Note that the interference graph shows equally spaced dark and bright fringes.

Therefore the value of relative intensity only shows 0 and 1.

Press F5 key on the keyboard. Press F5 key on the keyboard to reset the App.
Cursor on the interface. Let us calculate the value of angle for first maxima.
Point to Condition for maxima formula.

Show the rearranged equation in the text-box.(α = sin-1(kλ/d)).

To do so we can rearrange the equation given in the interface as

α = sin-1(kλ/d)

Let us substitute the values into the formula.
Slide Number 6

Angle

α = sin-1(kλ/d)

k=1

λ= 600 nm

d = 1000 nm

α = sin-1(kλ/d)

= sin-1(1*600/1000)

= sin-1(600/1000)

= sin-1(3/5)

= 36.86°

Take the value of k as 1 since we have to calculate the angle for the first maxima.

Take the value of wavelength and spacing between slit as shown on interface.

Substitute the values into the formula.

The calculated value of angle of first maxima is

36.86 degree.

Let us compare with the value shown in the App.

Click on Maxima drop down.

Select k=1.

Click on the Maxima drop down and select k=1.
Cursor on the angle next to k=1. Observe that the value of the angle next to K=1 is 36.9 degrees.

The value is comparable with the calculated value.

Slide Number 7

Scroll up and select Intensity profile radio button.
Point the cursor on the Intensity profile graph. Observe that, only one central bright region is seen.

This intensity decreases as we move away from the center.

Click on Width of slit and enter 3000 nm. In the green panel, click on the Width of slit text-box and enter 3000 nm.
Cursor on the screen.

Point to bright and dark fringes.

Observe that a number of alternate dark and bright fringes are formed
Click on the Maxima drop down.

Cursor on the 0 degrees in the drop down.

Point to the relative intensity.

Now click on the Maxima drop down.

Observe that the central maxima is at 0 degrees.

It shows Relative intensity as 1. This is the maximum intensity.

Select K=1 from the Maxima drop down. From the Maxima drop down select k=1.
Point to Relative intensity value. Here the Relative intensity decreases from 1 to 0.0472.
Click on Maxima drop down.

Select K=2.

Again click on Maxima drop down and select k=2.
Point to Relative intensity value. The Relative intensity decreases to 0.0165.

Here I have made the table to show the relative intensity for maxima and minima.
Slide Number 8

Tabular Column

Table is given at the end.

Observe the relative intensity for maxima.


The Relative intensity decreases as we move away from central region.

For the each minima, we have seen that the value remains zero for the relative intensity.

Drag the slider of Wavelength to its lowest.

Cursor on the voilet light.

Drag the Wavelength slider to its highest value that is to 780 nm.

This is the region of red light.

Click on the Maxima drop down.

Move the cursor through the drop down.

Next click on Maxima drop down.

Here we see four bright fringes.

Drag the slider of Wavelength to its highest.

Cursor on the red light.

Next drag the slider of Wavelength to its lowest value that is to 380 nm.

This is the region of violet light.

Click on the Maxima drop down.

Move the cursor through the drop down.

Now click on the Maxima drop down.

Here we can see eight positions for bright fringes.

Cursor on the interface. This happens because violet light refracts more than red light.

Hence we see more number of bright fringes for violet light.

Drag the Wavelength slider to 520 nm. Drag the Wavelength slider to 520 nm.
Click on Maxima drop down. Click on Maxima drop down and select first bright fringe.
Point to the angle next to k=1. Here the first bright fringe is formed at an angle of 14.4 degrees.

Click on the Maxima drop down.

Select k=1.

Click on the Maxima drop down and select K=1.
Point to the angle next to k=1. Here the first bright fringe is formed at an angle of 20.1 degrees.

Hence we conclude that if we increase the wavelength, angle also increases.

Scroll down the screen. Scroll down the screen.

This is shown in the formula.

Cursor on the formula.

Point to the formula and also both angle and wavelength.

Here, angle is directly proportional to the wavelength.
