Single Slit Diffraction

Return to Diffraction and Interference

Description:

A slit-film contains single, double, and multiple-slit patterns in various widths and separations. It can be used to demonstrate many diffraction and interference patterns using a laser.

Setting up, make the distance between the slit plate and the screen large so the pattern is more visible. A video camera focused on the pattern is a good idea for the large lecture room.
