Can analyze wave effects using Huygens’ Principle Huygens' construction Each point on the line (wave front) acts like a little oscillator making spherical waves Add up the contributions from all these little waves at the point of interest
Two Slits – simplest case Huygens says
Freeze time: crests and troughs
Freeze time: crests and troughs +1 +1 -1 Wave sim http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/wave-interference
Constructive interference: in general Equilateral triangle
Condition for constructive interference: Condition for destructive interference:
Example: Red light (630 nm) illuminates two slits 0.006 mm apart. At what angles will we see bright spots?
