Wavefront splitting Interferometer
Young’s Double Slit Experiment

Path difference:
For a bright fringe, For a dark fringe, m: any integer
For two beams of equal irradiance (I 0)
Visibility of the fringes (V) Maximum and adjacent minimum of the fringe system

The two waves travel the same distance – Therefore, they arrive in phase S' S
• The upper wave travels one wavelength farther –Therefore, the waves arrive in phase S' S
• The upper wave travels one-half of a wavelength farther than the lower wave. This is destructive interference S' S
Uses for Young’s Double Slit Experiment • Young’s Double Slit Experiment provides a method for measuring wavelength of the light • This experiment gave the wave model of light a great deal of credibility.
Phase Changes Due To Reflection • An electromagnetic wave undergoes a phase change of 180° upon reflection from a medium of higher index of refraction than the one in which it was traveling – Analogous to a reflected pulse on a string μ 1 μ 2

Problem In a Fresnel mirror the angle between the mirrors a=12’. The distance r= 10 cm and b=130 cm. Find (a) The fringe width on the screen and the number of possible maxima. (b) the shift of the interference pattern on the screen when the slit S is displaced by dl=1 mm along the arc of radius r about the center O. (c) The maximum width of the source slit at which the fringe pattern on the screen can still be observed sufficiently sharp.

Newton’s Ring • Ray 1 undergoes a phase change of 180 on reflection, whereas ray 2 undergoes no phase change R= radius of curvature of lens r=radius of Newton’s ring

Types of localization of fringes
Interference fringes Real Virtual Localized Non-localized
Localized fringe ØObserved over particular surface ØResult of extended source
Non-localized fringe ØExists everywhere ØResult of point/line source

Problem The width of a certain spectral line at 500 nm is 2× 10 -2 nm. Approximately what is the largest path difference for which the interference fringes produces by the light are clearly visible?
