What does principle of superposition states? What are the conditions of interference or: what is the definition of coherent waves? What are the conditions of constructive interference or destructive interference? 1. What are the coherent light sources? 1 Same frequency monochromatic 2 Constant phase difference 3 Same polarization oscillation direction Notes: 1. The interference pattern is a succession of bright and dark bands parallel to the slits S1 and S2. The center of the patter is a bright band corresponding to k 0. 2. The distances between two adjacent bright or dark fringes are equal. ?y R?/d. d?, ?y? ; ? ?, ?y?; R ?, ?y? Example1: Young’s experiment is performed with sodium light ? 589nm . Fringes are measured carefully on a screen 100cm away from the double slit, and the center of the twentieth fringe is found to be 11.78mm from the center of the zeroth fringe. What is the separation of the two slits? Example2: Young’s experiment is performed with white light 4000 ? ~7000 ? . The screen is 500cm away from the double slit. The separation of the two slits is 0.25mm. What is the width of the second colorful bands? Example3: The wavelength of the incident light is 6000 ?.The index of refraction of the transparent film is 1.3. The fifth bright fringe is at the center. Find the thickness of the film. Some other examples of two-sources interference Fresnel’s prisms Fresnel’s mirrors Lloyd’s mirror 1. Interference in the uniform thickness film Nonreflective and reflective coatings A thin layer of hard transparent material is deposited on the lens surface. If the reflectivity is decreased , it is called nonreflective coatings. If the reflectivity is increased, it is called reflective coatings. 2. Interference in the wedge film Along the line where the plates are in contact, we find a dark fringe. This suggests that one of the reflected waves has undergone a half-cycle phase shift during its reflection. discussion 1. The interference pattern is a succes
