Diffraction

This lesson will review diffraction and interference patterns produced by one and two slits. This lesson will look at interference patterns with multiple slits and will give a step by step in-depth explanation of the concept by looking at graphs and diagrams to derive formulas to solve.

This lesson will define and explain diffraction. When a wave goes around on an obstacle and reaches behind an obstacle, such as when a door is slightly open and you can hear noise from outside when inside a different room. This lesson will give a step by step in-depth explanation of the concept by looking at graphs and diagrams to derive formulas to solve.

The diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings.

This lesson will explain how to solve a diffraction grating problem. The example problem will give information and ask you to solve for the wavelength of the light as well as how far away from the center of the screen is the second order line. This lesson will give a step by step in-depth explanation of the concept by looking at graphs and diagrams to derive formulas to solve.

This lesson will look at a real life example of interference and diffraction patterns and their formulas.Example problems with given information about slit interference and diffraction to explain how to solve. This lesson will take an in depth look at diagrams and use a step by step process to better explain the concept.
