Conceptual remark light can be treated as rays only if the sizes of all objects, gaps, and holes involved are much bigger than the light wavelength. Ray optics is based on rectilinear propagation of light, and deals with mirrors, lenses, reflection, refraction, etc. College physics meets standard scope and sequence requirements for a twosemester introductory algebrabased physics course. Two independent light sources do not have coherent phase. Students using this book should be familiar with differentiation, integration, and standard trigonometric and algebraic manipulation. Two lasers operating independently are also not coherent so no interference pattern results. If light is a wave, two sources emitting waves in a synchronized fashion1 should produce a pattern of alternating bright and dark bands on a screen. We now learn how treating light as waves rather than as rays leads. The wave model of light has one serious drawback, though. This book provides an introduction to the eld of optics from a physics perspective. Thats because most light comes in many short bursts strung together. Book 5 in the light and matter series of free introductory physics. Pdf in this chapter we treat light as waves to study interference, diffraction, and polarization. Otherwise the wave nature of light becomes important, the ray method can no longer give correct.
Destructive interference is a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction. In kinematics forces causing motion are disregarded while dynamics deals with motion of objects and the forces causing them. Intensity in interference and diffraction pdf this note explains the following topics. Diffraction of laser light through a vertical opening of decreasing width. Interference of light waves similar to interference of water waves. Most notable are the single mirror experiment of lloyd and the double mirror and biprism experiments devised by augustin fresnel.
Interference of light physics 204 experiment 5 interference of light. Pdf engineering physics by gaur and gupta pdf free download. Phase constants tell us what the source is doing at t 0 d 1 x 1,ta sinkx 1. Brown physics textbooks introductory physics i and ii a lecture note style textbook series intended to support the teaching of introductory physics, with calculus, at a. The text is designed for upperlevel undergraduate students with a physics background.
Most light will only have interference for small optical path differences a few wavelengths, because the phase is not well defined over a long distance. Pdf interference of light physics notes for iitjee. This image sequence is also available as an animated gif. Other types of experiments have been devised to demonstrate the wavelike nature of light and interference effects. This collection is very useful for jee candidates to crack their upcoming. These books are billed as the light and matter series, but only now, in the. Brown physics textbooks introductory physics i and ii a lecture note style textbook series intended to support the teaching of introductory physics, with calculus, at a level suitable for duke undergraduates. Inter ference of light w aves c hap te r o u tlin e 37. When in phase, the two lower waves create constructive interference left, resulting in a wave of greater amplitude.
This superposition produces constructive interference. Because both the sodium lamps are not coherent pairs of light sources. Multiple choice questions engineering physics book. The physics of light and color interference olympus. The firstorder fringe resembles a rainbow with violet and red light at opposite ends. Because the disturbances add, constructive interference produces a wave that has twice the amplitude of the individual waves, but has the same wavelength. These experiments are described in detail in many of the physics books listed in our bibliography. To understand how to determine the interference conditions for double slit interference 3. It focuses primarily on the wave and ray descriptions of light, but also includes a brief introduction to the quantum description of light. These three equivalent statements mean no possibility of an interference pattern.
The geometry of the doubleslit interference is shown in the figure 14. Engineering physics by gaur and gupta pdf free download. No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, c. Each slit acts like a pointsource by huygens principle.
The text is grounded in realworld examples to help students grasp fundamental physics concepts. This equation is also applicable for youngs double slit experiment. Fundamentals of light microscopy and electronic imaging. This case is a bit more complicated, but fortunately there is still. The controversy between the wave theory and the emission theory of light early. Constructive interference of two identical waves produces a wave with twice the amplitude, but the same wavelength. Multiple choice questions the process of waves appearing with different intensity at a point when a number of waves pass through a point in a medium is known as selection from engineering physics book. To understand how to determine the intensity of the light associated with double slit. Interference in thin films normal incidence constructive reflection, no phase shift 2t m. Romaudio video cassettes or electronic, mechanical. Topics are addressed froma physics perspective and include the propagation of light in matter, reflection and transmission at boundaries, polarization effects, dispersion, coherence, ray optics and imaging, diffraction, and the quantumnature of light. The slitwidth a and slitseparation d are similar in size to the wavelength of light the wave fronts arrive at the two slits from the same source in about the same time they are in phase. The amplitude of the interference fringe at a point depends on the amplitudes of the two coherent waves a 1 and a 2 arriving at that point and can be found using the relationship.
First year physics, ch 9 define interference of light. To understand the meaning of constructive and destructive interference 2. The first minimum is described by m0 and the tenth by m9. Part of the science networks historical studies book series snhs, volume 5.
The light rays come back along the same path because the incident rays fall on the mirror along the normal to the reflecting surface. The interference fringes will be dealt with in a later section of this book. Topics covered include re ection and transmission at boundaries, dispersion, polarization e ects, di raction, coherence, ray optics and imaging, the propagation of light in matter, and the quantum nature of light. History of the principle of interference of light springerlink.
