Double-Slit Interference
By: Ria Tiwary
Student Number: 34003146
Physics 101
Thomas Youngs Experiment
 Thomas Youngs double-slit experiment was
conducted to prove that light has wave-like
properties, as well as having photon particles.
 The condition for a bright fringe to appear on the
optical screen: dsin慮=n了
Where d is the distance between the two slits and n is
an integer.
 The distance between 2 successive fringes (on the
optical screen): s=了D/d
Where D is the distance between the screen and the
slits.
How to Make Sense of the Formulae
 An increase in the wavelength of the light results
in: increase in number of fringes on screen and
decrease in distance between fringes
 An increase in the distance between slits results
in: increase in number of fringes on screen and
decrease in distance between fringes
 An increase in the distance between the screen
and the slits results in: increase in number of
fringes on screen and decrease in distance
between fringes
Application of Double-Slit Interference
 Double-slit interference allows us to measure
the wavelength of lights using Youngs
equation: 了 = y d / (m L)
 d: distance between slits
 L: distance from slits to screen
 y: distance from central antinode to 4th
antinode
 m: order value
Sample Question
 In a two-slit apparatus the slits are 0.3 mm
apart. Fringes in sodium are observed at a
distance of 1.2 m from the slits. The
separation of the fringes is 2.4 mm.
 What is the wavelength of sodium light?
Solution
