Daily Work Organizer Constructive or Destructive interference? Homework: Pre-Lab pg 204-208
Vocab Constructive Interference • Occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction. • Can create Maxima • Build • Amplitudes add together Constructive interference between 2 waves can create maxima or antinodes.
Vocab Destructive Interference • “Minima” • Destroy • Amplitudes subtract • Resulting wave is smaller • Occurs at any location where two interfering waves have amplitudes in opposite directions.
New Tardy Policy • If you’re tardy, more than once in a week, you lose 2 points from your grade.
Wave Phenomena It’s what we see…
Wave Interference • Two wave sources near each other will create an interference pattern • Lines made from constructive interference are called antinodes or maxima • Lines made from destructive interference are called nodes or minima (no waves)
Constructive Interference • Sourcesin phase • On some lines there are parts where crests overlap crests • Waves are out of step by one wavelength 3 4 2 3 1 S1 2 let’s count the difference in wavelengths 1 S2
Destructive Interference • Sourcesin phase • On other lines crests overlap troughs • Waves are out of step by one half wavelength 2.5 2 3 1 S1 2 let’s count the difference in wavelengths 1 S2
Interference • counting waves on the interference pattern
Interference • counting waves on the interference pattern
2 minutes • Answer the questions on your Cornell notes!
A & B 1. At which of the labeled point(s) would constructive interference occur? 2. How many of the six labeled points represent anti-nodes? 2
Lets Start the Pre-Lab! ~ 5 minutes
The purpose of this lab is to recognize constructive and destructive wave interference patterns and use these patterns to calculate the wavelength of the waves causing this pattern • Purpose of lab: to _______________ • Hypothesis: what do you expect to see and why? When a crest and trough of two waves overlap I expect to see: When the crests of two waves overlap I expect to see: Destructive interference => nodes Constructive interference => antinodes
Hypothesis: what do you expect to see and why? When the distance between the 2 sources of waves increases I expect the distance between the nodes to ____________ because… When the wavelength increases I expect the distance between the nodes to ____________ because…

Calculating wavelength • Wavelength can be calculated from measurements on a point on an antinode λ
Calculating wavelength • L= length from point to midpoint between sources • x= perpendicular distance from point to central antinode • d= distance between sources • m= antinodenumber • (central is m=0)
Calculating wavelength • Wavelength can be calculated with the formula • note: • or: • we can rewrite eqn as:

Changing d • let’s look at the effect of changing the distance between the sources: d
Changing d • let’s look at the effect of changing the distance between the sources: d • An increase in d makes nodes closer together
Changing wavelength • let’s look at the effect of changing the wavelength • note: larger λ means slower f
Diffraction • Particles are blocked by barriers • But waves can bend around the edges
Diffraction • Effects of wavelength and slit size • Larger wavelength means more diffraction • Larger slit size means less curve
Diffraction • Compare UHF (smaller) to VHF (larger) TV waves • UHF waves slightly diffract below roof
Diffraction • Compare UHF (smaller) to VHF (larger) TV waves • VHF waves diffract much more would this house get all the channels?
Diffraction • Which direction are the waves flowing?
Light Diffraction • Newton originally thought light was a particle • Thomas Young challenged the idea • He used diffraction to test for light being a wave • Two slits created an interference pattern
Light Diffraction • This interference pattern can displayed on a screen • The diffraction pattern is seen as fringes • Dark spots are nodes, bright spots are antinodes
Light Diffraction • Changing d and wavelength affect this pattern the same as they had the full interference pattern • Proof that light is a wave
Diffraction • All waves can bend around edges
Thin Film Interference • Each edge of a film can also be a wave source
Thin Film Interference • When light hits a thin film… • some light reflects off surface… thin film
Thin Film Interference • Some light refracts through… • then reflects off bottom surface thin film
Thin Film Interference • These two rays then interfere with each other • Closed ended reflections thin film
Thin Film Interference • The phase change determines the type of interference • Thin film interference equations • creating or blocking colors • example

Polarized Light • Light is a transverse wave • The wave below shows how this would appear • If we looked at this wave head on it would appear as a line going up and down
Visualizing Polarized Light • Light is a transverse wave • The wave below shows how this would appear • If we looked at this wave head on it would appear as a line going up and down
Unpolarized Light • Naturally occurring light has waves on all planes • This type of light is called unpolarizedlight
Polarized Light • Naturally occurring light has waves on all planes • This type of light is called unpolarizedlight • Polarized light is made of waves vibrating only on one plane
Drawing Polarized Light • Let’s imagine unpolarized light in just two planes of vibration • Vertical wave drawn as an arrow • Horizontal wave drawn as a dot
3 Methods of Polarization • Selective Absorption • Reflection • Double Refraction
Selective Absorption • A film of molecules stretched out in same direction • These molecules absorb all the light in that plane • Remaining 50% (perpendicular to molecules) passes through • 2 filters lined up 90° to each other block 100%
Reflection method: Glare! • The horizontal component of light tends to reflect off transparent surfaces (glare) • The vertical component of light tends to refract • Not a perfect polarization
