Wave Interference - Interference | Double Slit | Diffraction - PhET Interactive Simulations

Make waves with a dripping faucet, audio speaker, or laser! Add a second source to create an interference pattern. Put up a barrier to explore single-slit diffraction and double-slit interference. Experiment with diffraction through elliptical, rectangular, or irregular apertures.

Wave Interference Simulation Overview

  • Core Topics: Wave interference, double-slit experiments, and diffraction.
  • Media Types: Simulations cover water, sound, and light waves.
  • Key Learning Objectives:
    • Understanding the relationship between different wave types.
    • Measuring wave speed through experimental design.
    • Analyzing interference patterns generated by two sources.
    • Identifying points of constructive and destructive interference using visual observation and digital detectors.
    • Observing wave behavior through single and double-slit barriers.
  • Mathematical Application: Predicting light fringe locations using the formula $d \sin(\theta) = m\lambda$.
  • Experimental Variables:
    • Impact of wavelength changes on diffraction patterns.
    • Impact of aperture size and geometry on diffraction patterns.
    • Verification of predictions using built-in measurement tools like the tape measure.
