Young's double slit — 107 discussions

Hello all, I have a problem that requires some knowledge about Young's double slit experiment. The question is as follows: Imagine performing Young's experiment with one slit wider than the other so that the intensity passing the wider slit is four times as great as that passing the narrower...

My question deals with Young's double slit experiment. This figure is a graphical representation of Young’s double slit experiment in which laser light passing through a pair of closely spaced slits results in a 2-source interference pattern. The laser light, incident from the top, is...

what are the practical and theoretical no. of bright fringes that can be formed in the double slit experiment?

For the Young's Double slit Experiment, I'm just wondering when it comes to finding the distance between the adjacent fringes (shown on the screen), why can't we just measure directly the distance between the adjacent fringes instead of having to measure the distance between 5 fringes and...

How will the Fringe system in a Young's double slit experiment affected if, 1] a pair of polarising sheets P1 and P2, one before each of the slits S1 and S2, such that their transmission directions are parallel. 2] what will be the effect if the transmission lines are mutually orthogonal...

"In Young's double slit experiment, assuming the distance between the slits is 0.07mm and the wavelength of light used is 600 nm, when the screen is 70 cm away, what kind of interference is there." I'm not sure what I'm being asked to determine here. Plugging in the figures into the...

What would be the best set up to repeat Young's double slit experiment with a diode laser?
