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.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Google 'two slit interference'. That should bring on an avalanche of hits. The Hyperphysics site is usually a good source of formulae, although it is sometimes a bit short on chatty explanations (PF is good for that).
 
I found a good paper on the subject
 
That looks to be a good source.
If it suits your level then it's perfect!
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
