Demonstrations in Interference From Two Sources

Four horizontal rows of green double-slit interference patterns on a dark background, each showing different fringe spacings and diffraction envelopes corresponding to the four slit configurations

Electroformed Two-Slit Interference

Laser light through precision double slits produces interference patterns that demonstrate the wave nature of light. Four slit configurations allow direct comparison of how slit width and spacing affect fringe …
Green laser passing through Cornell plate mounted on ring stand with finger clamp, producing a horizontal interference pattern on white paper magnetically attached to blackboard

Cornell Plate Double-Slit Interference

A laser illuminates double slits on a Cornell plate, producing an interference pattern on a distant screen. The Cornell plate has multiple slit configurations (varying separation, width, and number of …
Green laser and PASCO diffraction wheel mounted on optical rail with optical sliders, projecting a faint green interference pattern onto white paper magneted to blackboard

Variable Double Slit

Demonstrates double-slit interference with variable slit separation using a laser and PASCO diffraction wheel. Students observe the inverse relationship between slit separation and fringe spacing, providing direct verification of.
