Product Summary
OS-8453 includes two slit wheels with holders designed to match the height of the slits to the height of the diode laser. All components clip directly to the Optics Bench from the Basic Optics System OS-8515C. The slit wheels eliminate the frustration of trying to change the slits in a darkened room. To change the slit being illuminated by the laser, the slit wheel is simply rotated to the next positive click, which locks another slit into position.
The Single-Slit Wheel includes four single slits of different widths, two circular apertures, one line/slit comparison, one opaque line, a variable width slit, and four patterns.
The Multiple-Slit Wheel includes four double slits, a set of four multiple slits having the same slit width and separation (2, 3, 4, and 5 slits), four slit comparisons, and a variable double slit.

Interference and Diffraction
Diffraction and interference patterns are measured for single and double slits by scanning the laser pattern with a light sensor and plotting light intensity versus distance. Differences and similarities between interference and...
