I spent 1 hour in lecture and 1 hour in lab and was so confused as to understanding the constructive/destructive interference, the first minute at 40 seconds answered just that. BIG THANKS.
Can u tell me definition of constructive nd destructive interference...🙄
@@tamilachirajeshwari701 When waves of same kind in cross they combine to make one wave at that point. Like if a high water wave went into another higher one it would be higher at the point they cross because the water is being lifted up by both. Constructive is when the waves add together to make a bigger wave. [aka when they cross you add amplitude together]. However if one wave was in the other direction (negative) to the other (positive), if they were at same height (amplitude) but in those opposite directions they cancel out so there is effectively no wave at that point. That's why it's destructive. Constructive and destructive usually mean where the waves are either crossing at max height in same direction (constructive) to make new one double the height, or they are same but opposite direction so completely cancel (destructive).
Everyone seems confused... Why is there no interference pattern on the first wall?
How do we know the photons pass gently uniformly through the next wall slits in the same manner as through the first? Let's follow the classical mechanics here of early Einstein and of the the classical physics, assuming that the photons are discrete pieces of matter : Once they enter through the first slit from the candle or lamp, there is a second wall with another slit. It is only needed a small discrepancy from the light path to create an interference pattern on the wall number 2. What the case was in Young's early experiments inspired by Huygens who of course understood that there had to be an interference pattern, was just that he assumed that photon rays would pass uniformly through all slits. But that we don't know just out of nothing; it only takes a small variation of the light path to hit the sides of the slit in the next wall, meaning there will be small pattern of interference. Some of the photons would reflect from off the back of the first wall, already having a changed path while or if going through slit 2. And so forth and so forth. Aggregated with the already discrepant variation from the main ray. Thus it has to be a wider and wider pattern of interference.
first time in my life, i have realized what the circular form of wave representation means, all after passing everything, huh
xD
Exactly bro
True
I just relized my teacher is useless as I always heave to learn from the internet
Hahahaha same @majsterektv
Not sure it's the teacher's fault - realized and have! Oh there is only so much that can be built from the basic lego kit.
i dont even call my teacher a teacher
Its your fault first did you ask the teacher or not
@@cnu9948 Maybe he asked his teacher, but his teacher doesn't even know how to explain / explain in a way that's to difficult to understand / repeat the same thing that's mentioned in the textbook. Because that's what my teacher does. RUclips is much better than some of my teachers to be honest.
Beyond incredible instructor!! He not only explains the right way but also shows you common misconceptions to avoid.
Beautiful explanation.... especially that part where you explain how the wavefronts from the two slits interfere constructively or destructively; and finally on the screen... very helpful; thanks a lot
Thanks ,good video and made very clear ... probably the easiest and most understandable explanation that I have ever found about this experiment
i never had an intuitive understanding until i watched this video. The impact you are having on the world is deeply profound.
I went through so many videos... And this one finally did it for me!! Thank you so much. Here's what I couldn't understand: why were they showing waves as propagating lines when, in reality, they were like the sine and cosine waves with peaks and troughs? This videos answered that question and even explained where they would interfere constructively and where deconstructively, Beautifully explained!
Didn't work for me. Still don't know what destructive interference is. Can't even find any real life examples of it. Just never see it happen. Waves don't cancel, PERIOD. If i turn on two flashlights i just get more light. If i turn on two radios i just get more sound. NOTHING EVER gets CANCELLED!!!!!
you're doing it wrong! you need one source of light (1 flashlight, radio, sun,...) and a screen with 2 slits on it (hence the name Double Slit experiment!) if you display that light onto a blank screen you'll see interference patterns! this wikipedia picture shows it animated upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Doubleslit3Dspectrum.gif
-- if you don't understand the physics of it, look at the philosophy behind it! i find that easier to understand!
The interference is those blue dots on in the green of the pic right? plus what is the philosophy behind this?
yes! the blue would be the perfectly destructive interference (two troughs) the yellow would be the interference of one peak and one trough (+1 + (-1) = 0) and the green would be the positive peaks of light!
the philosophy behind this experiment is thomas young trying to prove that light is a wave based on his experimental results. his argument is as follows: if my theory is true (A), then when i set up my experiment i will see the results that I expect (B). he does see the results of (B), therefore (A) must be true! this is a philosophical fallacy that results in his theory being confirmed (not proven) and is called affirming the consequent
One peak and one trough? No idea what that means. If the blue is the destructive then that means that yellow is constructive right since its brighter that green and blue?
Dude, i'm from Brazil and I'm really thankful for this video. I wasn't understanding a bit of what my college's teacher was saying, you'll save my exercises. Keep doing a great job!
U learn that in college?? We have this is 12th grade in India.
This has been really helpful for my A-Level studies, thank you so much. I finally understood how to implement the constructive and destructive interference pattern formula w=λD/s
seriously i just understand the whole concept thank you very much.GOD bless you
ur ten minutes have covered the content that my teacher spent classes talking about with clearer explanation. Thanks a lot :)
Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Man you explained the concepts so clearly and simply. Hats off!
Already 2 mins in and I've learnt more than weeks of school. This teacher also doesn't sound boring and monotone. 10/10
thank you for speaking quickly and getting to the point!!!! great video.
Best of luck for tomorrow hueheuheu
Raghav Pathania thanks bro
The person, who understands best, explains best! perfect lecture about double slit experience. thank you
"How 'bout the destructive points?...shoooot, you know how to do that. These are gonna be the half wavelengths." Love it. Thanks again Khan.
Just take a minute and praise how satisfying the drawing on 4:32 is.
Thank you sir.
This helped me trillions! I learnt in roughly 10 minutes what I struggled to understand in hours of lectures. Thank you so much! ❤

This is a really great video, thank you so much, it helped a lot,I am grateful for the time you took to explain this, please keep it up :)
Now that all my college classes are virtual I can finally say (with evidence) youtube is just as good, or better than some teachers. Watching these instead of my prerecorded lectures from now on.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCHHH! THIS HELPED A LOT
A great explanation, for which I was looking for!!
Thanks for such videos:)
Sir , The explanation enhanced my understanding. If I didnt watch this video , I would have lived under a rock with thousands of confusions So sir, I would like to thank you and would encourage you to keep up the good work for us , students.
Sar, full support sar
@@fluffzxx9615 wow how funny, what a subtle racist remark to a student who is just appreciating a teacher for teaching him a concept
