We can describe Young's experiment with the help of Figure (4). The screen is located a distance L from the double slit S1 and S2, which are separated by a distance d and the source is monochromatic. under these conditions, the waves emerging from S1 and S2 have the same frequency and amplitude and are in phase. Note that, in order to reach P, a wave from S2 travels farther than a wave from S1 by a distance d sin . This distance is called the path difference, , where r2 r1 d sin , (1) This equation assumes that r1 and r2 are parallel, which is approximately true because L is much greater than d. The value of this path difference determines whether or not the two waves are in phase when they arrive at P. If the path difference is either zero or some integral multiple of the wavelength, the two waves are in phase at P and constructive interference results. Therefore, the condition for bright fringes, or constructive interference, at P is d sin m (m 0, 1, 2, ...). (2) The number m is called the order number. The central bright fringe at 0 (m 0) is called the zero-order maximum. The first maximum on 1 either side, when m 1, is called the first- order maximum, and so forth.

When the path difference is an odd multiple of , the two waves 2 o at P are 180 out of phase and will give rise to destructive interference. Therefore, the condition for dark fringes, or destructive interference, at P is d sin (m 12 ) (m 0, 1, 2, ...). (3) It is useful to obtain expressions for the positions of the bright and dark fringes measured vertically from O to P. Since the angle is small, we can use the approximation sin tan , or sin tan y , L (4) Using this result together with Eq. (2), we see that the position of the bright fringes measured from O are given by 2 y bright m L , d (5) Similarly, using Eq. (3) and (4), we find that y dark (m 12 ) L , d (6) The spacing or distance between the centers of two adjacent bright (or dark) fringes is given by y m 1 y m L , d (7) 1. (b) Huygens' principle Huygens' principle is a construction for using knowledge of an earlier wave front to determine the position of a new wave front at some instant. In Huygens' construction, all points on a given wave front are taken as point sources for the production of spherical secondary waves, called wavelets, which propagate outward with speeds characteristic of waves in that medium, see Fig. (1). After some time has elapsed, the new position of the wave front is the surface tangent to the wavelets. 3 A C S D B E Incident wave Fig. (1): A plane wave is incident on a slit.

Michelson (1852-1931),splits a light beam into two parts and then recombines them to form an interference pattern. The device can be used to measure wavelengths or other lengths accurately. M1 t M2 S G1 G2 T Fig. (14): A diagram of the Michelson interferometer A schematic diagram of the interferometer is shown in Fig. (14). A beam light provided by a monochromatic source is split into two rays by 5 a partially silvered mirror G1 inclined at 45o to the incident light beam. One ray is reflected vertically upward toward mirror M1 , while the second ray is transmitted horizontally through G1 toward mirror M 2 . After reflecting from M1 and M 2 , the two rays recombine to produce an interference pattern, which can be viewed through a telescope T. The glass plate G 2 , equal in thickness to mirror G1 , is placed in the path of the horizontal ray in order to ensure that the two rays travel the same distance through glass. The interference condition for the two rays is determined by the difference in their optical path length. when the two rays are viewed as shown, the image of M 2 is at M'2 parallel to M1 , see Fig. (15). Hence, M'2 and M1 form the equivalent of an air film. The effective thickness of the air film is varied by moving mirror M1 along the direction of the light beam with a finely threaded screw. Under these conditions, the interference pattern is a series of bright and dark circular rings. If the mirror M1 and the image of M 2 ( M'2 ) is not parallel the gap between M1 and M'2 is a wedge shaped film and the fringes is parallel lines as in Fig. (16which known as localized fringes. The condition for constructive interference is 2nt (m 12 ) (m 0, 1, 2, ...) . 6 (1) and the condition for destructive interference is 2nt m (m 0, 1, 2, ...).

In a transmission grating, the space between any two lines is transparent to the light and hence acts as a separate slit. Gratings with many lines very close to each other can have very small slit spacings. For example, a grating ruled with 5000 lines / cm has a slit spacing d 1 cm 2 10 4 cm , 5000 (1) A section of a diffraction grating is illustrated in Fig. (11). A plane wave is incident from the left, normal to the plane of grating. The pattern observed on the screen is the result of the combined effects of interference and diffraction. Each slit produce diffraction, and the diffracted beams interfere with each other to produce the final pattern. For some arbitrary direction the waves must travel different path lengths before reaching the point P. From Fig. (11), note that the path difference between waves from any two adjacent slits is equal to d sin . Therefore, the constructive interference at angle is d sin m, (m 0, 1, 2, ...) . (2) This expression can be used to calculate the wavelength from a knowledge of the grating spacing and the angle of deviation . 8 P d )a( 2 1 m0 1 2 2 1 m0 1 2 I )b( )c( Fig. (11): (a)Side view of a diffraction grating.

Hence, only zeroth, first, and second order maxima are observed for this situation. 10
