Document Summary

Let sunlight fall on a screen containing two closely spaced (very narrow) slits. The screen will block particles not passing through the slits. The particles passing through the slits will travel in a straight line. The viewing screen will only be illuminated in two spots behind the slits. There is a pattern of alternating bright & dark bands (fringes) This is due to diffraction and interference (wave phenomena) When waves encounter an obstacle, part of the wave can bend in behind the obstacle. When two (or more) waves overlap, they combine. The combined wave is just the sum of the individual waves at each point. What the combined wave looks like depends on the relative phases of the individual waves. We have seen that when light passes from one medium into another, its speed will change based on the indices of refraction: It turns out, that the wavelength of the light also changes: (lambda1)/(lambda2) = v1/v2 = n2/n1.
