    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    • @albertvandrejer5003
      @albertvandrejer5003 3 года назад +3

      @@fluffzxx9615 because for a large numer of slits, the condition for constructive interference of all the superimposed waves is only given at very specific positions. For a double slit what you see is just the interference pattern of two waves, which will have areas of constructive interference, destructive interference and everything in between.

    I just tried to reorganize your points in my own words as the following.
    At a magical spot, each light travel one wavelength further(or less) than its adjacent light. Therefore all lights results in constructive interference at this spot which is bright.
    At a non-magical spot, each light has a slight phase difference with its adjacent light. Since there could be hundreds of different lights from hundreds of holes, each light can always be paired with another light with a phase difference of about half wavelength. Thus each pair results in destructive interference. Overall they result in darkness at the spot.

      This is exactly how I tried understanding it.i took approximately half of the total number of holes and then each point in between the initial and final hole would pair up destructively with another.

    Hi, to keep angles, so green lines, the same, the purple lines should be parallel. We cannot approximate angles because the difference distance is much bigger than wave length. Correct me if I'm not right. It looks the same when draw is not precise but geometrically not. What if first hole will be perpendicular to bright spot and the x hole will be at the border of light point :) but you got good intentions it's the plus

    Right at 3:00, you say "draw a right angle", but if it's a right angle there's no way the two lines (minus the "extra part") are equal, because geometry: hypotenuse of right triangle must be longer than sides.

  • @SohamChakraborty42069
    @SohamChakraborty42069 3 года назад +1

    Beautiful explanation. One part I don't understand though. The angle theta is the angle between the perpendicular line joining the middle of the distance between the pair of slits and the screen and another line that joins the middle point and the point of interest on the screen. In diffraction grating, we are choosing different pairs of slits each time, so the middle point changes whereas the point on the screen remains fixed. How is the angle the same, then?

  • @tom_something
    @tom_something 5 лет назад +4

    This is super clear, thank you. One thing I was wondering as I looked at this. Shorter wavelengths should, then, encounter these positive interference peaks at smaller angles. And I was trying to reconcile that because I know "blue light diffracts more than red light". But I looked it up, and in a diffraction grating, blue dots would be _closer_ together. I had assumed a diffraction grating would work the same as a prism or the sky. But nope. So the observation of dot spacing with regard to wavelength through a diffraction grating is totally consistent with the model you've outlined, which is really satisfying.

  • @supersonic174
    @supersonic174 9 лет назад

    One thing that could be helpful to point out is that in areas of deconstructive, when ever the wave arrives at the screen there will always be a collection of smaller waves or troughs.. even as time passes, as time moves forward. As the trough hits the screen there will be waves hitting the same point causing deconstructive interference and vice versa.

    For the deviated spot, i think if you just draw out all the possible waves on the same graph you could tell they are interfered destructively by their adjacent waves at each intersection. In other words, I think any space between the integer wavelength lambda will always be dark, resulting in discrete bright spots on the screen.

  • @eduarddez4416
    @eduarddez4416 2 года назад

    At the last part when you showed us that if you slightly deviate from the maximum point you said that there will be destructive interference and it will cancel each other out , but won't there also be constructive interference for example after the 10'th slit ?

    Quite a marvellous experiment and of great utility, as the instructor points out and I rightfully admit. However, as opposed to YDSE, wouldn't this experiment be a nightmare to actually execute? We are dealing in lambdas of the order of below microns here, so in the process of exacting our Ds across the wall, even if we miss the mark by a nanometer in making the hole we might mess up the whole pattern right? In YDSE we didn't have such a concern since there were only 2 holes so a slight error would only cause a slight shift in the interference pattern, but for diffraction grating wouldn't the error add up due to all holes and effectively yet a dark spot instead of a bright one all because of physical imperfections?
