What happens when two waves collide ? They add point by point Superposition Why? Because the wave equation is linear. This is the principle of superposition.
If you added the two sinusoidal waves shown in the top plot, what would the result look like ? Lecture 32 – Act 1
Wavefronts: slit acts like point source Rays A wave through a slit
Intensity What happens when two light waves are present at the same point in space and time? What will we see? Intensity! Add Amplitudes! (electric fields or magnetic fields) Brightness ~ <Amplitude2> ~ ½ E02
Suppose laser light of wavelength l is incident on the two-slit apparatus as shown below. Lecture 32 – Act 2 Which of the following statements are true? (A) There are new patterns of light and dark. (B) The light at all points on the screen is increased (compared to one slit). (C) The light at all points on the screen is decreased (compareed to two slits).
q q A wave through two slits d L Screen Assume L is large, Rays are parallel
d DP=d sinq A wave through two slits In Phase, i.e. Maxima when DP = d sinq = nl Out of Phase, i.e. Minima when DP = d sinq = (n+1/2)l q Screen
+ + A wave through two slits In Phase, i.e. Maxima when DP = d sinq = nl Out of Phase, i.e. Minima when DP = d sinq = (n+1/2)l
Note that you could derive the reflectance equation(qi=qR) using a particle model for light. Bouncing balls. You could also derive Snell’s Law for particles. n1sin (qi)=n2sin(q2) The particles change speed in different media (Newton did just this) You cannot get a particle model for these interference effects. You would have to magically create particles at the bright spots and annihilate them at the dark spots. Interference effects mean that light must be made up of waves. Waves and Interference
What determines the wave amplitude at P? The difference in the path lengths! (ie d= S1P - S2P) If the d is an integral number of wavelengths, the phase difference is zero and we get constructive interference. If d is l/2, 3 l/2, 5 l/2, etc, we get destructive interference. The general case is given by: The amplitude for the wave coming from S1: The amplitude for the wave coming from S2: The amplitude for the total wave at P : with The Amplitudes
What is the intensity at P? The only term with a t dependence is sin2( ).That term averages to ½ . If we had only had one slit, the intensity would have been, So we can rewrite the total intensity as, with The Intensity
We can rewrite intensity at point P in terms of distance y The Intensity Using this relation, we can rewrite expression for the intensity at point P as function of y Constructive interference occurs at where m=+/-1, +/-2 …
Note that the angle between bright spots is given by, sinq = nl/d To see effect we want l d. l>d means no bright spot, l<<d means bright spots too close together. For an x-ray, l = 1 Å, E = 10 keV d ~ 1-20 Å. Interference patterns off of crystals For an electron, l = 1 Å, E = 100 meV (deBroglie - 1925) 100 meV means an electron is accelerated through a voltage of 0.1 V Interference patterns off of crystals Davisson and Germer, (1927) So, electrons are waves ?? d spacing
