Why does diffracted white light have a white central fringe?
I hope so! Went and edited it so hopefully it follows the required template now. I'm honestly not to sure I do understand the relationship between those two - is it that a greater wavelength leads to greater diffraction and thus more spacing? Perhaps I'm completely off but that would be my guess :&- Gigi777

Why does diffracted white light have a white central fringe?
Hi Sam, Thanks for the reply I'll be sure to keep that in mind for next time - Should I go edit the post to follow the template? Also I do believe I understand how it works for light in that the bright coloured fringes occur when the diffracted light meets in phase to constructively interfere...- Gigi777

What are the benefits of joining a physics forum community?
Hey everybody, My name is Jia and I'm a high school student from New Zealand. Over the years of scouring the internet for physics explanations that I couldn't get from my teachers I've run into this site time and time again and almost always found the answers I've been looking for. Think it's a...- Gigi777

Why does diffracted white light have a white central fringe?
Hey everybody, Homework Statement : [/B] I came across a question discussing Young's Double Slit interference and was wondering how come when we diffract white light through the slits it gives us a central antinodal fringe that is also white? The question itself came in parts firstly...- Gigi777
