Youngs Double Slit Experiment
One of the most important experiments of wave theory is that of Young's double slits. It is a clear example of the diffraction of light conducted with essentially basic scientific equipment.
Young's Double Slit Experiment and N-slit Diffraction
This Java Applet shows results for both Young's double and N slit experiments. This is a rather complex applet and would be of use to those who have a good understanding of the theory behind the ...
Young's Double Slit Experiment
This site shows the mathematics behind Young's double slit experiment
Double refraction
A simple and effective, interactive example of the birefringence of Iceland Spar, with a clear explanation of the effect.
Double Helix Science Club
This is the homepage for the Helix and Scientriffic magazines but it also has lots of activities and information.
Double Slit Interference
A java applet to investigate Young's fringes slit width can be varied as can wavelength. Shows wavefronts.
Two-Slit With Diffraction
The site demonstrates a double-slit experiment in which the slit separation, width of the individual slits and the wavelength of the light can be adjusted.
About Rainbows
About Rainbows looks at the physics behind rainbows, their formation, and answers common questions e.g. "What makes a double rainbow?". Also gives links to related sites including experiments on ...
String Instruments
A list of various instruments (violin, viola, cello, double bass, acoustic guitar and electric guitar) with information on how they work and the physics involved.
Classic Two-Slit Experiment
A well described page explaining Young's double slit experiment. There is a very good multimedia example of this effect - showing the interference pattern produced by a laser shining through two ...
