We can consider any number of ray pairings that start from a distance a/2 from one another such as the bottom two rays in the diagram. Any arbitrary pair of rays at a distance of a/2 can be considered. We shall see the importance of this trick in a moment.

Diffraction of light is defined as the bending of light around corners such that it spreads out and illuminates areas where a shadow is expected. In general, it is hard to separate diffraction from interference since both occur simultaneously. The silver lining which we witness in the sky is caused due to diffraction of light. When the sunlight passes through or encounters the cloud, a silver lining is seen in the sky.

For a dark fringe, the path difference must cause destructive interference; the path difference must be out of phase by λ/2. (λ is the wavelength)

Remember that this is a calculation valid only if D is very large. For more details about the approximation check out our article on the Young’s Double Slit experiment.

The maxima lie between the minima and the width of the central maximum is simply the distance between the 1st order minima from the centre of the screen on both sides of the centre.

When light passes through a small opening, comparable in size to the wavelength λ of the light, the wavefront on the other side of the opening resembles the wave. Let us know more about the diffraction of light and single slit diffraction that occurs when light travels through a single slit. Also, let us learn what happens in a single slit diffraction experiment.

When light travels in air, it encounters various phenomena like interference, refraction, reflection and diffraction. When the light comes in contact with an obstacle, diffraction of light takes place.

The phase difference is defined as the difference between any two waves or the particles having the same frequency and starting from the same point. It is expressed in degrees or radians.

For a ray emanating from any point in the slit, there exists another ray at a distance of a/2 that can cause destructive interference.

We shall identify the angular position of any point on the screen by θ measured from the slit centre which divides the slit by a/2 lengths. To describe the pattern, we shall first see the condition for dark fringes. Also, let us divide the slit into zones of equal widths a/2. Let us consider a pair of rays that emanate from distances a/2 from each other as shown below.

When the double-slit in Young’s experiment is replaced by a single narrow slit, a broad pattern with a bright region at the centre is seen. On both sides of the centre, there are alternating dark and bright regions. The intensity becomes weaker away from the centre. In this article, we discuss the single slit diffraction of light in a detailed manner.

Thus, at θ = sin−1λa, there is destructive interference as any ray emanating from a point has a counterpart that causes destructive interference. Hence, a dark fringe is obtained.

Compton effect is defined as the effect that is observed when x-rays or gamma rays are scattered on a material with an increase in wavelength.

Temporal coherence is known as the correlation between the field at a point and the field at the same point at a later time.

The condition for destructive interference is that the path difference should be equal to an odd integral multiple of half wavelength.

The condition for constructive interference is that the path difference should be equal to an integral multiple of the wavelength.

For the next fringe, we can divide the slit into 4 equal parts of a/4 and apply the same logic. Thus, for the second minima:

We can observe single slit diffraction when light passes through a single slit whose width (w) is on the order of the wavelength of the light. The diffraction pattern on the screen will be at a distance L >> w away from the slit. The intensity is a function of angle.

In the single-slit diffraction experiment, we can observe the bending phenomenon of light or diffraction that causes light from a coherent source to interfere with itself and produce a distinctive pattern on the screen called the diffraction pattern. Diffraction is evident when the sources are small enough that they are relatively the size of the wavelength of light. You can see this effect in the diagram below. For large slits, the spreading out is small and generally unnoticeable.

Total internal reflection is defined as the complete reflection of light rays within the same medium when passing from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium in such a way that the angle of incidence is greater than its critical angle.
