  • Light diffraction pattern seen through a single slit experiment setup.

    Though it looks like a double slit interference pattern, the pattern on the screen are actually the results of light diffracting through a single slit with the ensuing interference. 
    ::屏幕上的图案其实是光线通过 与随后的干扰的单条截断 产生分解的结果。

    Single Slit Interference
    ::单分干涉度

    Interference patterns are produced not only by double slits but also by single slits, otherwise known as single slit interference . In the case of a single slit, the particles of medium at both corners of the slit act as point sources, producing circular waves from both edges. These circular waves move across to the back wall and interfere in the same way that interference patterns were produced by double slits.
    ::干扰模式不仅由双断层产生,而且由单断层产生,也称为单一断层干扰,如果是单断层,两端的介质微粒作为点源,从两边产生循环波。 这些循环波波向后墙移动,干扰方式与干扰模式由双断层产生相同。

    In the sketch at below, the black lines intersect at the center of the pattern on the back wall. This center point is equidistanct from both edges of the slit. Therefore, the waves striking at this position will be in phase; that is, the waves will produce constructive interference . Also shown in the sketch, just above the central bright spot where the red lines intersect, is a position where destructive interference occurs. One of these red lines is one-half longer than the other, causing the two waves to hit the wall out of phase  and undergo destructive interference. A dark bank appears at this position. 
    ::在下面的草图中,黑线在后面墙的图案中心交叉。 这个中心点与断裂的两边缘相近。 因此, 撞击这个位置的波将处于阶段, 也就是说, 波将产生建设性的干扰。 在草图中, 就在红线交叉的中央亮点上方, 显示一个发生破坏性干扰的位置 。 其中一条红线比另一条长半年, 导致两道波将墙撞出阶段, 并受到破坏性干扰 。 黑银行出现在这个位置上 。

    Single Slit Interference Showing Wave Patterns And Points Of Constructive And Destructive Interference.

    Just as in double slit interference, a pair of similar triangles can be constructed in the interference pattern. The pertinent values from these triangles are the width of the slit, w , the wavelength, λ, the from the central bright spot to the first dark band, x , and the distance from the center of the slit to back wall, L . The relationship of these four values is
    ::和双斜线干扰一样,在干扰模式中也可以构造一对相似的三角形。这些三角形的相关值是斜线宽度、 w、波长、 、 从中央亮点到第一个暗带的宽度、 x 和从斜线中间到墙背的距离, L。 这四个值之间的关系是:

    @$\begin{align*}\frac{\lambda}{w}=\frac{x}{L} \ or \ \lambda=\frac{wx}{L}\end{align*}@$ .
    ::@ $\ begin{ leign} frac_ llambda} wfrac{x{L} 或\\\ lambda} frac{wx} {L} end{ leign} $。

    ::示例示例示例示例

    Monochromatic light of wavelength 605 nm falls on a slit of width 0.095 mm. The slit is located 85 cm from a screen. How far is the center of the central bright band to the first dark band?
    ::波长605纳米波长的单色光线落在宽度0.095毫米的切片上。 切片位于屏幕85厘米处。 中亮带的中心离第一个暗带有多远?

      @$\begin{align*}x=\frac{\lambda L}{w}=\frac{(6.05 \times 10^{-7} \ m)(0.85 \ m)}{(9.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m)}=0.0054 \ m\end{align*}@$
    ::@ $\ begin{ align} x\\\ frac\ llambda Lw\ frac{ (6. 05\ times 10\\ 7}\ m (0. 85\ m)\\ (9. 5\ times 10\ 5}\ m)\ 0.0054\ m\ end{ align} @
