Figure 27.55 shows the central part of the interference pattern for a pure wavelength of red light projected onto a double slit. The pattern is actually a combination of single slit and double slit interference. Note that the bright spots are evenly spaced. Is this a double slit or single slit characteristic? Note that some of the bright spots are dim on either side of the center. Is this a single slit or double slit characteristic? Which is smaller, the slit Width or the separation between slits? Explain your responses. Figure 27.55 This double slit interference pattern also shows signs of single slit interference. (credit: PASCO)
Four trials of Young's double-slit experiment are conducted. (a) In the first trial, blue light passes through two fine slits 400 m apart and forms an interference pattern on a screen 4 in away, (b) In a second trial, red light passes through the same slits and falls on the same screen. (c) A third trial is performed with red light and the same screen, but with slits 800 m apart, (d) A final trial is performed with red light, slits 800 m apart, and a screen 8 m away.
