The phenomenon of forming an interference pattern by using light that passed through a double slit is a basic item learnt in a high school physics course. It is a good example that light possesses a ...

The simulation visualizes the intensity distribution of light on a distant screen after passing through one or two narrow slits. This is primarily based on Huygens' principle and the principle of ...

Electrons travelling through two slits and a single slit. (Courtesy: Herman Batelaan/New Journal of Physics) Physicists in the US and Canada say that they have done the best job yet of realizing ...

This script simulates the diffraction pattern produced by particles passing through a single slit. The simulation uses the single-slit diffraction formula to calculate the intensity distribution on a ...

This is a simple experiment to show the diffraction pattern of a light passing through a small slit formed by two fingers held together close to the eye. Place the light bulb somewhere in the ...
