When measuring the fringe width of a superposition pattern from a monochromatic source - I am using a laser. What problems/inaccuracies could I have when measuring it?
The discussion focuses on the challenges associated with measuring the fringe width of a superposition pattern produced by a laser in Young's Double Slit experiment. Key issues identified include human error, shot noise, and fabrication inadequacies, which can all contribute to inaccuracies in measurements. Additionally, airborne particles and environmental factors are noted as potential sources of error. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precision in experimental setups to achieve reliable results.
