Diffraction through One Slit
Single Slit and Laser – 6C10.10

- A laser shines on a slide containing several single slits.
- The diffraction pattern appears on the side wall.
- Two different color lasers can be used to demonstrate the wavelength dependence of the pattern.
Location: Jacobs B122 - Shelves 166 & 240
Adjustable Slit and Laser – 6C10.15
- A laser shines on an adjustable slit.
- The diffraction pattern appears on the side wall.
Location: Jacobs B122 - Shelves 166 & 240
Microwave Diffraction – 6C10.50

- A single slit is placed between a microwave transmitter and receiver.
- Move the receiver around to find maxima and minima.
- The diffraction pattern appears on the side wall.
Location: Jacobs B122 - Shelf 256
