STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY PHY 134 L06 Lab 10: Interference Name: Calagera Pagano Lab Partner: Quinn Gagliano Teacher Assistant: Yan Mong Chan Experiment Date: 7 December 2023 Report Date: 9 December 2023
Introduction In this lab, we observed interference, diffraction, and the polarization of light. Interference is branched off into three different optical components: a single slit, a pair of slits and a diffraction grafting. In the first part, we examined a diffraction grafting for different slits that have equal spaces. In the second part, we then measure the width of our hair with the tool given to us to see the diffraction. Our hair is defined as a single thin slit. The last part in the lab, we observed the polarization of light for which is the examination of the oscillation directions. Results Explanation of Part 1 Results During part one, we examined two different LED color’s diffraction patterns. Blue and red LEDs were both measured with diffraction graftings of 500 line/mm and 1000 line/mm. With the 500 line/mm we saw the diffraction grafting image lines closer together than the 1000
