Heya! I'm new in the forum, and here is my first entry.
I don't really understand the diagram for wave difraction. Let me try to draw it...
| | | | | The space between the four three lines is suppose to be the wavelength.
| | | | |
| | | | | The last line is suppose to be a single slit.
| | | | |
| | | | | In my textbook it says something like the space of the slit must be
| | | | comparable to the wavelenght...
| | | |-->
| | | | So, if the wavelengt is smaller than the slit, the wave will pass through
| | | | | the with no change.
| | | | |
| | | | | And if the wavelenth is comparable to the space, then it will be
| | | | | diffracted...
| | | | |
In the case of my fantastic diagram, its clear that it will be diffracted, and the wave will form sort of circle forms when passing through the slit.
But if the diagram is the following...
| The wave will pass with absolute freedom... is it right?
|
| Then, my question is... wasn't the wavelength the space between each
| line?? If so... what does it have to do with the length of the same lines?
| | |
| | |
| | |
|
|
I hope my question is clear enough!
Thanks!
Andrés.
