Interference and Diffraction
Interference and Diffraction of Light Experiment
The laser interference pattern is scanned by hand with a Light Sensor on a Linear Translator.
Interference and Diffraction
Students view the laser pattern while simultaneously seeing the graph drawn on the screen.
Interference and Diffraction
A computer scan of a double-slit interference pattern (slit width 0.08 mm and slit separation 0.50 mm) is shown at left. A photograph of the actual laser pattern is shown above.

The complete solution for examining interference and diffraction patterns for laser light passing through various single-slits and multiple-slits.
