All Flashcards
What is the effect of increasing the wavelength ($\lambda$) in Young's double-slit experiment?
The fringe spacing (x) increases.
What is the effect of increasing the slit separation (d) in Young's double-slit experiment?
The fringe spacing (x) decreases.
What is the effect of increasing the distance to the screen (L) in Young's double-slit experiment?
The fringe spacing (x) increases.
What is the effect of light passing through a narrow slit?
The light diffracts, spreading out after passing through the slit.
What is the effect of using coherent light in Young's double-slit experiment?
A stable and clear interference pattern is produced.
In a double slit experiment diagram, what does 'd' represent?
'd' represents the distance between the two slits.
In a double slit experiment diagram, what does '$\theta$' represent?
'$\theta$' represents the angle from the central beam to the fringe.
In a double slit experiment diagram, what does '$\lambda$' represent?
'$\lambda$' represents the wavelength of light.
In a double slit experiment diagram, what does 'x' represent?
'x' represents the distance from the central fringe to the mth fringe.
In a double slit experiment diagram, what does 'L' represent?
'L' represents the distance from the slits to the screen.
What are the steps of Young's Double-Slit Experiment?
1. Coherent light source. 2. Light passes through two narrow slits. 3. Light diffracts and overlaps. 4. Interference pattern observed on screen.
