- Slides: 35
S-110 A. What does the term Interference mean when applied to waves? B. Describe what you think would happened when light interferes constructively. C. Describe what would happen if light went through total destructive interference.
Objectives I can explain Young’s double slit experiment. I can calculate wavelength using interference patterns.
Interference and Diffraction
9. 1 Superposition and Interference
Review – Superposition net displacement caused by a combination of waves – the algebraic sum Applet Phase difference 180 o – out of step by half a wavelength Coherent – maintains a constant phase difference 9. 1 Superposition and Interference
9. 2 Young’s Two-Slit Experiment
1801 – Thomas Young Shot monochromatic, coherent light through two slits The result was bands of color called bright fringes Applet 9. 2 Young’s Two-Slit Experiment
What happened Hugyen’s principle – every point on a wave front can be treated as the source of a new wave When a wave is sent through a barrier two identical wave fronts are created 9. 2 Young’s Two-Slit Experiment
So when a wave is sent through double slits Ripple Tank The fringes are caused by constructive interference – bright fringes destructive interference – dark fringes When we look at the pathway of two rays 9. 2 Young’s Two-Slit Experiment
For constructive interference, the path difference must be a multiple of l So m – any whole number dsinq 9. 2 Young’s Two-Slit Experiment
For dark fringes – the waves must be 180 o out of phase, so To measure q, we need to go back to the experiment An look at the triangle One side is L, we will L call the other side x 9. 2 Young’s Two-Slit Experiment x
We can calculate the angle using the law of tangents x L 9. 2 Young’s Two-Slit Experiment
S-111 A light is shined through two slits that are 1. 2 mm apart. If the third order minima is produced on a screen 1. 5, how far from the central maxima will it be. Assume that the light used has a frequency of 7. 2 x 1014 hz.
S-112 A light is shined through two slits that are 0. 50 mm apart. If the fourth order maxima is produced on a screen 0. 80 m from the slits, how far from the central maxima will it be. Assume that the light used has a wavelength of 1. 8 x 10 -7 m.
9. 3 Interference in Reflected Waves
Waves that reflect of objects at different locations can interfere Waves can go through a phase change due to reflection 9. 3 Interference in Reflected Waves
When waves reflect at a boundary as they go From higher n to lower n – no phase change From lower n to higher n – 180 o phase change 9. 3 Interference in Reflected Waves
Lets look at what happens in an air wedge There is no phase change at the first boundary There is a phase change at the second boundary The paths are essentially the same length in a real interference pattern (or they wouldn’t hit the same part of eye) 9. 3 Interference in Reflected Waves
So the length of the path is For constructive interference For destructive interference 9. 3 Interference in Reflected Waves
Thin Films – soap bubbles or oil slicks First ray (phase change) Second ray (no phase change) Solving in terms of l 9. 3 Interference in Reflected Waves
Combining we get So for constructive interference 9. 3 Interference in Reflected Waves
And for destructive interference 9. 3 Interference in Reflected Waves
S-113 Light of wavelength 615 nm strikes the surface of an oil film (n=1. 55) that is floating on water (n=1. 33). The light strikes the surface of the oil at an angle of 22 o. What is the minimum thickness of the oil that would produce a destructive interference pattern?
9. 4 Diffraction
Waves diffract (bend) when they pass through barriers Diffraction Single Slit Diffraction – monochromatic light sent through a single slit will cause an interference pattern Applet The pattern occurs because of the diffraction of light around the edge of the slit 9. 4 Diffraction
Similar to double slit geometry If a is the width of the slit, the first minimum would occur In general 9. 4 Diffraction
If the distance D is much greater than the slit distance y, then we can use the Approximation Combining with 9. 4 Diffraction
9. 5 Resolution
Resolution – the ability to visually separate closed spaced objects Depends on the aperture (size of lens) In a slit the first dark fringe would be For a circular aperture of diameter D produces a central bright and a dark fringe at an angle 9. 5 Resolution
Due to this interference, a point source of light will be viewed as a circular image Applet Rayleigh’s Criterion: If the first dark fringe of one circular diffraction patter passes through the center of a second pattern, the two sources responsible for the patterns will appear to be a single source. 9. 5 Resolution
Examples: pixels on TV’s and Computer 9. 5 Resolution
9. 6 Diffraction Gratings
Diffraction Grating – a system with a large number of slits 3 D glasses Produced most often by taking pictures of slits and putting them on a slide Produces sharp, widely spaced fringes 9. 6 Diffraction Grating
Patterns are caused by multiple waves interfering This example shows a maxima produced by 10 slits There would be other areas of constructive interference 9. 6 Diffraction Grating
Because different colors of light have different wavelengths, and diffract differently We can separate colors Equations are the same as double slits Constructive Destructive 9. 6 Diffraction Grating
