4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is diffraction?
Think about what happens to a wave at the edge of an object.
What happens to the light when it passes through a single slit?
Consider what is observed when the slit width is small.
What does diffraction refer to?
Remember how light behaves when it meets an edge.
True or False: The central maximum is the dimmest part of a diffraction pattern.
Think about the intensity of light at the center.
Calculate the angle of the first minimum for light with a wavelength of 500 nm passing through a slit of width 0.1 mm.
Don’t forget to convert units appropriately!
Discuss how changing the slit width might influence the diffraction pattern and why.
Consider how the wave nature of light influences its behavior.
