Lesson 6

Diffraction

Interference Recall that waves interfere (superposition) in a predictable way. Where two crests meet we have maximum displacement of the medium which is called an antinode. Where a crest meets a trough we have complete destructive interference and a node is formed.

Dispersion Compared to Diffraction Notice the order of colors.

Double Slit Laser

Wave Particle Duality and the Double Slit Experiment

Diffraction In most practical situations, the angle of diffraction can be difficult to measure because it is small. The equation is used in these situations: Here, the angle of diffraction is approximated by tanθ = x/L This approximation works because for small angles, sinθ ≈ tanθ. where λ = wavelength d = distance between slits l = distance from slits to antinode** x = distance between fringes **NOTE: l = distance to central maximum only if Θ < 10 °

Example 1. Light falls on a pair of slits 1.28 x m apart. The maxima are 4.11 x m apart and the screen is 1.00 m from the slits. What is the wavelength and color of the light? 2. Monochromatic yellow light, wavelength 580nm, shines on a pair of slits. The second dark spot is 21.8cm from the central antinode on a wall that is 5.00 m away. What is the separation of the slits?

Diffraction Grating A device consisting of transparent glass with opaque scratches placed very close together such that it acts like multiple slits. The formula for this device is

Using the Formula When using diffraction gratings, the distance between the slits (d) is not given, rather the density of lines is given (#lines/length). 3. Example: A diffraction grating has 4000 lines/cm. Calculate the distance between adjacent lines (d).

Examples 4. A diffraction grating has 5000 lines/cm and red light (700 nm) passes through it. Find the angle of deviation for the second order maximum (second antinode). 5. Find the maximum order number for the above grating. The maximum n corresponds to a turning angle of 90º.

Diffraction in Nature When sunlight or moonlight passes through water droplets of nearly uniform size, it is diffracted in a circular pattern. “Glory”

Light is said to be polarized if it vibrates in only one plane. Only transverse waves can be polarized. A polarization disk is nothing more than a barrier with a slit (or series of slits) in it.
