Young's Double Slit Interference

Young's Double Slit Interference

This is a classic example of interference effects in light waves. Two light rays pass through two slits, separated by a distance d and strike a screen a distance, L, from the slits. You can change this parameters (drag scrollbars to do it) and you will see the result of interference on the screen.

An effective applet with beautiful graphics. The role the frequency plays in wave diffraction is made very apparent.
