  3. Conditions for Interference 1. Coherent 2. Monochromatic For observable interference effects, sources must be Waves must maintain a constant phase relationship Waves must have the same wavelength Wave Optics 24 (03 of 41)

  4. Chapter 24: Wave Optics Two light sources are said to be coherent if they (A) are of the same frequency. (B) are of the same frequency, and maintain a constant phase difference. (C) are of the same amplitude, and maintain a constant phase difference. (D) are of the same frequency and amplitude. Wave Optics 24 (04 of 41)

  5. Young’s Double-Slit Experiment If light is a wave, interference effects will be seen, where one part of wavefront can interact with another part. One way to study this is to do a double-slit experiment: Wave Optics 24 (05 of 41)

  6. Young’s Double-Slit Experiment Wave Optics 24 (06 of 41)

  7. Young’s Double-Slit Experiment The interference occurs because each point on the screen is not the same distance from both slits. Depending on the path length difference, the wave can interfere constructively (bright spot) or destructively (dark spot). Wave Optics 24 (07 of 41)

  17. Diffraction Wave Optics 24 (27 of 41)

  18. Single-Slit Diffraction The resulting pattern of light and dark stripes is called a diffraction pattern. This pattern arises because different points along a slit create wavelets that interfere with each other just as a double slit would. The minima of the single-slit diffraction pattern occur when Wave Optics 24 (29 of 41)

  20. Chapter 24: Wave Optics A person gazes at a very distant light source. If she now holds up two fingers, with a very small gap between them, and looks at the light source, she will see (A) the same thing as without the fingers, but dimmer. (B) a series of bright spots. (C) a sequence of closely spaced bright lines. (D) a hazy band of light varying from red at one side to blue or violet at the other. Wave Optics 24 (31 of 41)

  21. Single-Slit Diffraction y d A single slit of width 0.30 mm is illuminated with 650 nm light. An interference pattern is formed on a screen 2.5 m away. Find the distance from the first dark band to the central bright band. Wave Optics 24 (32 of 41)

  22. Single-Slit Diffraction y L q A single slit of width 0.14 mm is illuminated by monochromatic light and interference bands are observed on a screen 2.0 m away. If the second dark band is 16 mm from the central bright band, what is the wavelength of the light? D Wave Optics 24 (33 of 41)

  23. The Diffraction Grating Two slits Six slits A diffraction grating consists of a large number of equally spaced narrow slits or lines. A transmission grating has slits, while a reflection grating has lines that reflect light. The more lines or slits there are, the narrower the peaks. Wave Optics 24 (34 of 41)

  24. Chapter 24: Wave Optics Consider two diffraction gratings with the same slit separation, one grating has 3 slits and the other 4 slits. If both gratings are illuminated with a beam of the same monochromatic light, make a statement concerning the separation between the orders. (A) The grating with 3 slits produces the greater separation between orders. (B) The grating with 4 slits produces the greater separation between orders. (C) Both gratings produce the same separation between orders. (D) Both gratings produce the same separation between orders, but the orders are better defined with the 4-slit grating.

  25. The Diffraction Grating The maxima of the diffraction pattern are defined by Wave Optics 24 (36 of 41)

  26. The Diffraction Grating (Problem) A 3500-line/cm grating produces a third-order fringe at a 28.0o angle. What is the wavelength of light being used? Wave Optics 24 (37 of 41)

  27. The Diffraction Grating (Problem) Dq qB qR A diffraction grating has 6.0 x 105 lines/m. Find the angular spread in second-order spectrum between red light of wavelength 7.0 x 10-7 m and blue light of wavelength 4.5 x 10-7 m. B R m = 2 Wave Optics 24 (39 of 41)

  28. The Diffraction Grating The Spectrometer and Spectroscopy A spectrometer makes accurate measurements of wavelengths using a diffraction grating or prism. Wave Optics 24 (39 of 41)

  29. The Diffraction Grating The Spectrometer and Spectroscopy The wavelength can be determined to high accuracy by measuring the angle at which the light is diffracted. Atoms and molecules can be identified when they are in a thin gas through their characteristic emission lines. Wave Optics 24 (40 of 41)

  30. Change of Phase Due to Reflection A reflected light wave undergoes a phase change of 180o. Wave Optics 24 (16 of 41)

  31. Change of Phase Due to Reflection A reflected light wave undergoes no phase change. Wave Optics 24 (17 of 41)

  32. Chapter 24: Wave Optics When a beam of light, which is traveling in glass, strikes an air boundary, there is (A) a 90° phase change in the reflected beam. (B) a 180° phase change in the reflected beam. (C) a 45° phase change in the reflected beam. (D) no phase change in the reflected beam. Wave Optics 24 (18 of 41)

  33. Interference in Thin Films air glass air Another way path lengths can differ, and waves interfere, is if they travel through different media. If there is a very thin film of material – a few wavelengths thick – light will reflect from both the bottom and the top of the layer, causing interference. This can be seen in soap bubbles and oil slicks, for example. Wave Optics 24 (19 of 41)

You are looking straight down from an airplane onto a region of the slick where its thickness is t = 460 nm. Which wavelength of visible light is reflected the greatest? Wave Optics 24 (22 of 41)

You are a scuba-diver directly under the slick where its thickness is t = 460 nm. Which wavelength of visible light is the transmitted intensity the greatest? Wave Optics 24 (23 of 41)

  38. Interference in Thin Films One can also create a thin film of air by creating a wedge-shaped gap between two pieces of glass. Wave Optics 24 (24 of 41)

  40. Interference in Thin Films Problem Solving: Interference Interference occurs when two or more waves arrive simultaneously at the same point in space. Constructive interference occurs when the waves are in phase. Destructive interference occurs when the waves are out of phase. An extra half-wavelength shift occurs when light reflects from a medium with higher refractive index. Wave Optics 24 (26 of 41)
