Wave Natureof Light Diffraction Diffraction is the bending of a wave around a barrier or through an opening into the shadow region. Diffraction The amount of diffraction depends on the size of the barrier or opening compared to the wavelength of the wave. Longer wavelengths exhibit more diffraction. Owl hoots around trees Water waves around small boats Light waves diffract for very small openings – on the order of 1 wavelength Diffraction Applet This applet shows the diffraction of waves by a narrow opening. The waves bend into the shadow region. Breakwater Diffraction Water waves diffract around barriers which have constructed as breakwaters. Small Island Diffraction Huygens’ Principle According to Huygens’ principle, each of the two slits in Young’s experiment acts as a point source of light waves. Ripple Tank Waves The crests of water waves act as converging lenses for the light shining from above. On the screen, the crests are bright, and the troughs are dark. Ripple Tank Waves Ripple Tank Waves Diffraction Slit Width Variation Diffraction Pattern - Fingers Make a narrow opening between two fingers and look through the opening at a light. You will see thin fringes resembling hairs. These are nodes or dark fringes.

This is called the principle of superposition. Double Source Interference When 2 periodic circular patterns interfere, a pattern of constructive and destructive interference emerges. “Lines” connecting nodes are called nodal lines “Lines” connecting antinodes are called
