    Young's Double Slit Experiment

    Uploaded by

    Saleem Khan
    Young's double-slit experiment uses two coherent sources of light placed close together to demonstrate that light exhibits wave-like properties such as interference and diffraction. The experiment helped establish the wave theory of light and showed that light can behave as both a wave and a particle. It is often depicted diagrammatically and has an equation relating the wavelength, slit separation, and fringe separation.

    YOUNG’S DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT

    Young's double-slit experiment uses two coherent sources of light placed at a small distance
    apart, usually, only a few orders of magnitude greater than the wavelength of light is used.

    Young's double-slit experiment helped in understanding the wave theory of light which is
    explained with the help of a diagram.

    In modern physics, the double-slit experiment is a demonstration that light and matter can display
    characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles
    Equationof double slit experiment:

    Wavelength λ = a x / D

    Where, a = separation between the slits


    x = Frenge separation (separation between the bright lines)
    D = slit to screen distance
