C3 PBL: Single slit diffraction
Take about 2 meters of plastic hose pipe and stretch it straight. You can build this in Algodoo by putting motors between lots of sticks, see if you can build one like mine. Plot the PE in the spring that joins the ends. You can also try building this in Geogebra (a bit more tricky). Measure the intensity of the light diffracted through a single slit as you scan a sensor across the pattern With reference to Huygen's...
