Hello! I am building a bow-tie cavity and for some reason the peaks I see when scanning the laser frequency are extremely wide and with a very long tail to the right. However, if I put a 50 Ohm resistance in between the BNC cable from the diode and the oscilloscope (using a BNC T connector) the...

(1) In the book I am using the separation of bright fringes is indicated as being ##\Delta y=\frac{\lambda}{d}##, where ##d## is the separation of the slits so on a screen of width ##W## I would see ##\frac{W}{\frac{\lambda}{\frac{1}{N}}}## bright fringes. I don't see why the text of the...

When looking at a diffraction pattern made by two slits, and trying to calculate wavelength, what do we count as fringes? For example, in this picture are there five total fringes or, like, 25? I've been trying to set up a lab for my high school physics 2 class and the math says that every...

I think the answer is E because each bright fringe is differed by a wavelength, in other words, one wavelength is equal to 2π. (For example, the first bright fringe is d * Δy/L = 1*λ.)

It's straightforward to calculate the wavelength of the balls which is 20,000m. I said that because this is the case and then the pattern must not be a an interference pattern as with electrons. The second question relies on the formula d = n(lambda)/2. Setting n = 1 for two golf balls will...

I have been preparing for a physics practical on diffraction. More specifically, we will use a CD as a transmission grating (by peeling off the reflective layer), and measure the distance between the fringes for a specific distance between the CD and the viewing wall. However, it is unclear...

Fabry-Perot Interferometer contains an etalon(an optical cavity created by 2 partially reflective mirrors placed parallel to each other separated by a small distance). When light enters the etalon it gets reflected back and forth between both the mirrors, being partially reflective, every time...

Hi, Is there an equation that gives you the number of interference fringes if you know the light wave length, size and separation of the slits, and length from the slits to the screen?

The conventional Young double slit experiment displays the interference fringes with the first intensity maxima at the center of the detection screen ('center' means aligned with the center between two slits of equal aperture). These are simply called 'fringes'. However, I'm wondering if and how...

Imagine a standard Young's Slit experiment using photons. We obtain large, distinct interference fringes on a target screen. Then, we embed into the target screen a telescope focused on and capable of resolving the slits. The width of the lens must be greater than about one fringe to obtain...

Hi all! In Young's double slit experiment, there are two things I cannot explain. Any help is appreciated! The first one is why the bright fringes get dimmer as you get further from the central/brightest spot. My theory, after looking in the two books I have, is that each single slit decreases...

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...

If we can slightly skew the optics in a HOM setup, so that the phase difference between Beam-1 and Beam-2 varies slowly across one of the detection planes, then would we see dark and bright regions in the cumulative pattern (assuming an array type i.e. spatially resolved detector) ??

For the sake of simplicity let's suppose I'm talking about the diffraction of light through one slit. Are the distances between any two consecutive fringes (apart from the central maximum) exactly equal? Assuming the wavelength, slit width, and distance between slit and screen do not change...

what does it mean by localisation of fringes?

So, I'm about to take an Optics exam, and while I can easily do most of the last years' exam problems, there are some which I cannot solve for different reasons (perhaps some gross oversight?). Yesterday I stumbled upon this: 1. Homework Statement (my own translation from Catalan) We have a...

Homework Statement i can't understand part b ii) , i assume the resolving power of eyes is constant . so when the slit separation increase , the wavelength of the light should be decreased to keep the tetha ( here , tetha = resloving power of eyes in radian )...But the book give different ideas...

Dark spots are measured on a screen at +xm, +ym and +zm where z>y>x from the central axis. since dark fringes are where (m+0.5)λ, would it be right for me to state that the dark spot z has an order of 3.5?

Since 2 splitted beams meet at ONE spot later on, we have just one beam which flows to the detector, therefore I expect to see just one light spot, where the BRIGHTNESS is changing depending on at which phase 2 beams meet. Pattern with fringes happens when we have multiple sources, like Young's...

Hi all I am looking for the intensity of the fringes on the screen behind two slits with a given width. I thought it would be easy to find with google but no.

Question are in paint doc. My answer is in red... I believe the answer is 4 and not 5. Please someone let me know if I'm correct.

just to be clear, this is single slit diffraction of light if the slit width is made narrower, this would lead to more diffraction, so the fringe width would be wider, yeah? but I'm a bit confused, because is this basically the same as saying the fringe separation would be wider?

Homework Statement Blue light of wavelength 400 nm passes through two slits which are a distance d = 1×10−4 m apart. This produces a double slit pattern on a screen L = 12 m away. (The screen is parallel to the plane of the two slits.) If the central bright fringe is denoted the “m=0...

I'm not sure if I've understood my textbook correctly. Can you tell me if my current understanding is correct: - in a single slit diffraction there's a wide central fringe which is twice as wide as all the other outer fringes - if we had a double slit diffraction instead of a single slit...
