Slit for the Double Slit Experiment

AI Thread Summary
For the Double Slit Experiment, slits can be created using materials like black cardboard, with careful cutting for precision. Alternatives include using the eye of a needle or pencil leads, although these are less effective for double slits. It's important to ensure the slits are close enough to be illuminated by the chosen light source, such as a laser. A diffraction and interference kit is available for purchase, which may be a convenient option. Contacting suppliers for single double-slit slides may provide a more cost-effective solution.

I was wondering where could I get a slit for the Double Slit Exeriment that
I am trying to do.Thanks

I have heard that you can make one using the eye of a needle or pencil leads. Rather crude and only really useful for single slits. You could also just make one, you could take an opaque sheet of material and using a straightedge and Xacto knife carefully cut the slits.

First you need to choose what your source will be for the experiment. If it is a laser you could just probably use black cardboard that you cut the slits in very carefully. Just make sure that the slits are close enough to be both be illuminated by the laser. For lower frequencies, you will need to use a conductor as your material.
 


Thanks guys
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
