We explore double and single slit example problems involving light and sound waves. In this Closer Look segment on Diffraction and Interference, we explore double and single slit example problems ...

A He-Ne laser shines on an adjustable single slit to make a diffraction pattern. The slit can be adjusted in two dimensions. Mount the laser and slit on opposite ends of the rail, making sure the ...

(Nanowerk News) Quantum physics tell us that even massive particles can behave like waves, as if they could be in several places at once. This phenomenon is typically proven in the diffraction of a ...

Researchers announced last week that they had slowed down faint pulses of laser light and retrieved an image from that light after speeding it back up. In principle such "slow-light" technology might ...
