Laser Diffraction and Interference
Laser Diffraction and Interference
A laser is directed at an adjustable single slit and then a pinhole and the resulting diffraction patterns can be seen on a screen. A laser directed at two slits spaced closely next to each other creates an interference pattern within the diffraction pattern. Shining lasers of different ...
