Overview:
When light passes through a single slit, diffraction is observed.
Goal of this Experiment:
The goal of this experiment is to measure intensity as a function of position of the pattern produced by a single slit. The setup is similar to that used in the interference lab.
The PASCO system has a slide with various single slits:
Sample Data:
The following data were taken by Matt Bravander and Alex Dzierba:
