Young’s double-slit experiment
- Wavefronts from S1 and S2 spread out and overlapping takes place to the right side of the double slit.
- When a screen is placed at a distance of about 1 meter from the slits, alternately bright and dark fringes which are equally spaced appear on the screen. These are called interference fringes or bands.
Equation for path difference: - Let d be the distance between the double slits S1 and S2 which act as coherent sources of wavelength λ.
- A screen is placed parallel to the double-slit at a distance D from it. The mid-point of S1 and S2 is C and the mid-point of the screen O is equidistant from S1 and S2. P is any point at a distance y from O.
- The waves from S1 and S2 meet at P either in-phase or out-of-phase depending upon the path difference between the two waves.
Young’s double-slit experimental setupδ = S2P – S1P
δ = S2P – MP = S2M -
The angular position of the point P from C is θ. ∠ OCP = θ.
- From the geometry, the angles ∠ OCP and ∠ S2S1M are equal.
∠ OCP = ∠ S2S1M = θ.
In right-angle triangle ∆ S1S2M, the path difference,
S2M = d sin θ
δ = d sin θ
If the angle θ is small, sin θ »tan θ θ
From the right angle triangle ∆ OCP,
tan θ = `"y"/"D"`
The path difference, δ = `"dy"/"d"`
