KSCISSE Klinger Scientific Single Slit Experiment Set Up

Klinger Scientific Single Slit Experiment Set Up In a single slit experiment, an alternating dark and bright pattern can be seen when light is imposed on a slit with a size corresponding to the wavelength of light. The only differences between a single slit and a double-slit experiment are the diffraction patterns and the intensity graphs. Objectives:• To find wavelength of given laser using the slit of known width.• To find the slit width knowing the wavelength of light used.• Proving the concept of Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Principle:Diffraction is a phenomenon of bending of waves when it encounters obstacles or narrow opening. A basic set up to observe diffraction consists alaser, a slit, screen placed at a distance. The wave fronts are partially obstructed by the slit. The intensity distribution of the diffraction pattern consists of a series of light and dark fringes with the intensity distribution is symmetric along about the central axis. The primary peak is called the c
