Villyer said:What is m in this equation? (both according to your teacher and to the other sources you found)
Villyer said:From your source, m is an integer 0,1,2...
This means that the equation simplyfies into [itex](\frac{1}{2})\gamma =dsin(\theta)[/itex], [itex](\frac{3}{2})\gamma =dsin(\theta)[/itex], [itex](\frac{5}{2})\gamma =dsin(\theta)[/itex]...
From your teacher, the number of spots away from the center is n.
So the first spot would yield [itex](\frac{1}{2})\gamma =dsin(\theta)[/itex], the second would be [itex](\frac{3}{2})\gamma =dsin(\theta)[/itex], and the third would be [itex](\frac{5}{2})\gamma =dsin(\theta)[/itex].
Do you see where I'm going with this?
Young's Double Slit Experiment is a classic physics experiment that demonstrates the wave-like nature of light. It involves shining a beam of light through two narrow slits and observing the resulting interference pattern on a screen.
The experiment demonstrates the wave-like behavior of light, as the interference pattern observed on the screen can only be explained by the superposition of light waves from the two slits.
The interference pattern is formed when the waves from the two slits overlap and either reinforce or cancel each other out, creating bright and dark fringes on the screen.
The interference pattern is affected by the wavelength of light, the distance between the slits, and the distance between the slits and the screen.
The experiment provides evidence for the wave-like nature of light and supports the theory of quantum mechanics, which describes light as both a wave and a particle.
