General Physics 2 Quarter 4 - Module 6 Interference and Diffraction Through Slits

This document summarizes an experiment using single and double slits to observe interference patterns from light. A student cut one slit and then two slits close together in a cardboard and viewed each through a half-closed eye with a lamp as the light source. For the single slit, parallel dark and bright bands were seen. The double slit pattern had bands closer together than the single slit. Comparing the patterns showed interference occurs when light passes through one or two slits.

GENERAL PHYSICS 2

Quarter 4 – Module 6
Interference and Diffraction through Slits

Name: Jade C. Delos Santos Week No. 6


Grade and Section: STEM 12-A Date: 05-31-2022
Subject Teacher: Ms. Jenny V. Castillo Score:

Activity 6. Young’s Slits Experiment

Materials Needed: 6-inch x 4-inch cardboard (used folder), cutter or thin knife

Direction:

1. Slice a slit in a cardboard about 1-inch length 2 inches from the edge of the
cardboard (see figure below).
2. About 2 inches from the first slit, slice two slit separated by about 1 mm or less.

3. Hold the cardboard about 15 to 20 cm from your eye and look through the single
slit with eye half close at a lighted lamp.
a) Describe what you see.
When I looked through the single slit with my eye half-closed at a lighted
lamp, I saw a clear diffraction pattern consisting of dark and bright bands or
fringes running parallel to the slit.
4. Repeat step 3, but using the double slits.
b) Describe what you see.
Meanwhile, when I looked through the double-slit with my eye half-closed at
a lighted lamp, I also saw dark and bright bands or fringes.
c) Compare the interference pattern that you have observed between the single
slit and the double slits.
Based on my observation between the single slit and the double slits, the
interval of the fringes is close in the double slits compared to the single slit.
