Interference
• Recall that waves interfere (superposition) in a predictable way.
• Where two crests meet we have maximum displacement of the medium which is called an antinode.
• Where a crest meets a trough we have complete destructive interference and a node is formed.

Diffraction
• In most practical situations, the angle of diffraction can be difficult to measure because it is small. The equation is used in these situations:
• Here, the angle of diffraction is approximated by tanθ = x/L
• This approximation works because for small angles, sinθ ≈ tanθ.
• where• λ = wavelength• d = distance between slits• l = distance from slits to antinode**• x = distance between fringes
**NOTE: l = distance to central maximum only if Θ < 10°

Example
• 1. Light falls on a pair of slits 1.28 x 10-5 m apart. The maxima are 4.11 x 10-2 m apart and the screen is 1.00 m from the slits. What is the wavelength and color of the light?
• 2. Monochromatic yellow light, wavelength 580nm, shines on a pair of slits. The second dark spot is 21.8cm from the central anti-node on a wall that is 5.00 m away. What is the separation of the slits?

Diffraction Grating
• A device consisting of transparent glass with opaque scratches placed very close together such that it acts like multiple slits.
• The formula for this device is

![Page 22: Lesson 6. Diffraction Interference Recall that waves interfere (superposition) in a predictable way. Where two crests meet we have maximum displacement](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982dbb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Using the Formula
• When using diffraction gratings, the distance between the slits (d) is not given, rather the density of lines is given (#lines/length).
• 3. Example: A diffraction grating has 4000 lines/cm. Calculate the distance between adjacent lines (d).

Examples
• 4. A diffraction grating has 5000 lines/cm and red light (700 nm) passes through it. Find the angle of deviation for the second order maximum (second antinode).
• 5. Find the maximum order number for the above grating. The maximum n corresponds to a turning angle of 90º.

Diffraction in Nature
• When sunlight or moonlight passes through water droplets of nearly uniform size, it is diffracted in a circular pattern.

• Light is said to be polarized if it vibrates in only one plane. Only transverse waves can be polarized.
• A polarization disk is nothing more than a barrier with a slit (or series of slits) in it.
