Review of Interference
Lines of Constructive and Destructive Interference
If you draw a line from
each slit to the 1st order bright line, you will notice
that one line is longer than another. The ___________
between these two
lines is _______________________
Constructive Interference causes _________ Lines.
Destructive Interference causes ___________Lines.
Ex) Calculate
the distance between two slits in a Double Slit Experiment if the wavelength of
the light used is 5 X 10 -7 m and the distance between the central
maximum and the first order bright line is 2 X 10 -2 m The distance
from the slits to the screen is 4 meters.
Step 1 -
Underline all the information
Step 2
- Turn the info into the correct letters
Step 3 - Substitute and Solve
l/d = x/L
Answer d = ______________
Question: If
they give you d, L and x and asked
you to find the COLOR of the light used, what would you do? Where would you go
to find the color?
Answer:
More wave behaviors of
light
Polarization - ____________________
of a beam of light producing light that vibrates in only one plane
