C3 activity: Single slit diffraction
Single slit diffraction occurs when a wave passes through a gap in a barrier. Here you will understand how Huygens' construction leads to the single slit diffraction pattern, observe how the diffraction pattern is affected by changing λ and slit width and derive the equation for the first minimum.
