These patterns are then examined for similarities and differences.<\/p>\n<p>The distances between the central maximum and the diffraction minima for a single slit are measured by scanning the laser pattern with a Light Sensor and plotting light intensity vs. distance. Also, the distances between interference maxima for two or more slits are measured. These measurements are compared to theoretical values. Differences and similarities between interference and diffraction patterns are examined.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PASCO Advantage:<\/strong>\u00a0Since the Linear Translator tracks the position of the Light Sensor, it is not necessary to move the Light Sensor at a constant speed. The Intensity vs. Distance graph is plotted in real time, showing the connection between the intensity pattern and the actual laser pattern. Adjustment of the slit size on the Light Sensor mask gives the resolution required to see detail in the interference patterns.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 mb-2\">\n<h4 class=\"h2\">Designed for use with any of the following<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"condensed \">\n<li>850 Universal Interface<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=2864\">550 Universal Interface<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Any PASPORT interface with 2 ports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 mb-2\">\n<h4 class=\"h2\">Concepts<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"condensed \">\n<li>Two-slit interference<\/li>\n<li>Single-slit diffraction<\/li>\n<li>Multiple-slit minor maxima<\/li>\n<li>Slit vs. line diffraction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4 class=\"h2\">What&#8217;s Included<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"condensed product-detail-included mb-0\">\n<li><span class=\"include-qty\">1x<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"include-desc\"><a class=\"font-weight-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pasco.com\/products\/lab-apparatus\/light-and-optics\/basic-optics\/os-8508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1.2 m Optics Track (OS-8508)<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"include-qty\">1x<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"include-desc\"><a class=\"font-weight-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pasco.com\/products\/lab-apparatus\/light-and-optics\/diffraction\/os-8453\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Precision Diffraction Slits (OS-8453)<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"include-qty\">1x<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"include-desc\"><a class=\"font-weight-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pasco.com\/products\/lab-apparatus\/light-and-optics\/light-sources-and-lasers\/os-8525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Diode Laser (OS-8525A)<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"include-qty\">1x<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"include-desc\"><a class=\"font-weight-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pasco.com\/products\/lab-apparatus\/light-and-optics\/diffraction\/os-8534\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aperture Bracket (OS-8534A)<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"include-qty\">1x<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"include-desc\"><a class=\"font-weight-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pasco.com\/products\/lab-apparatus\/light-and-optics\/diffraction\/os-8535\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linear Translator (OS-8535A)<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"include-qty\">1x<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"include-desc\"><a class=\"font-weight-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pasco.com\/products\/sensors\/pasport\/ps-2176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PASPORT High Sensitivity Light Sensor (PS-2176)<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"include-qty\">1x<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"include-desc\"><a class=\"font-weight-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pasco.com\/products\/sensors\/pasport\/ps-2120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PASPORT Rotary Motion Sensor (PS-2120A)<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Product Experiments<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasco.com\/file_downloads\/Downloads_EX_Exper\/EX-5545A-Interference--Diffraction.zip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interference Diffraction Experiment<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The complete solution for examining interference and diffraction patterns from laser light passing through various single-slits and multiple-slits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2490,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[111,39],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-2496","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-engineering-physics","product_cat-institute-university","pa_brand-pasco-scientific-eesti-en","first","onbackorder","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2496"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2496"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ste.education\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
