Interference – Phase ShiftWhat can introduce a phase shift?
1. From different, out of phase sources
2. Sources in phase, but travel different distances because they come from different locations

“Derivation” (Motivation) by Division:
Divide slit into two portions:
Don’t get confused – this is DESTRUCTIVE!
Now divide slit into four portions:

Concept Question: Lower Limit?Using diffraction seems to be a useful technique for measuring the size of small objects.
Is there a lower limit for the size of objects that can be measured this way?
1. Yes – and if we used blue light instead of red light we can measure even smaller objects than the ones we measure using red light
2. Yes – and if we used blue light instead of red light we couldn’t even measure objects as small as the ones we measure using red light
3. No

17
Concept Q. Answer: Lower Limit?
Once the feature size a is as small as the light wavelength you can’t go to an angle large enough to satisfy the above equation for any m > 0.
Blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light, so you can measure smaller sizes using blue light.
Answer: 1. we have the condition that
There is a lower limit imposed by the condition, namely that

Two Slits With Finite WidthWith more than one slit having finite width a, we must consider
1. Diffraction due to the individual slit
2. Interference of waves from different slits

Con. Q.: Interference & Diffraction
The resulting pattern on a screen far away is shown above, with distantly-spaced zeroes of the envelope, as indicated by the length X above, and closely-spaced zeroes of the rapidly varying fringes, as indicated by the length Y above.
Which length in the pattern above is due to the finite width a of the apertures?
1. X2. Y3. X and Y4. Neither X nor Y
Coherent monochromatic plane waves impinge on two long narrow apertures (width a) that are separated by a distance d with d > a.

24
Concept Q. Ans.: Inter. & Diffraction
Answer: 1. The ‘envelope’ length X depends on slit width.
You could infer this in two ways.
1)Slit width a < slit separation d. Angles and size scale inversely, so the bigger features come from a.
2)Interference patterns are roughly equal in magnitude while diffraction creates a strong central peak. So the envelope is from diffraction.

Worked Problem: InterferenceIn an experiment you shine red laser light (600 nm) at a slide and see the following pattern on a screen placed 1 m away:
a) Are you looking at a single slit or at two slits?
b) What are the relevant lengths (width, separation if 2 slits)? What is the orientation of the slits?
You measure the
distance between
successive fringes

You just observed an interference pattern using a red laser. What if instead you had used a blue laser? In that case the interference maxima you just saw would be
Concept Q.: Changing Wavelengths
1. closer together.
2. further apart.
3. came distance apart.

Concept Q. Ans.: Changing Colors
Blue light is a higher frequency (smaller wavelength) so the angular distance between maxima is smaller for blue light than for red light
Answer: 1. Closer Together
