This interactive simulation models the classic double slit diffraction experiment, demonstrating how waves passing through two narrow slits create interference patterns. Learners can adjust slit separation, wavelength, and viewing distance to observe how superposition produces alternating bright and dark fringes on a screen.
Learning objectives: Understand how wave superposition creates constructive and destructive interference | Investigate the relationship between wavelength, slit spacing, and fringe patterns | Apply principles of wave diffraction to real-world optical phenomena
