effect of width on single slit diffraction pattern.
|
affects the width of the central maximum inversely. b> s<.
|
|
theta = lamda/b
|
theta is the angular position of the first minimum. it must be in radians.
lambda is the wavelength and b is the slit width. (angular width of the central maximum is 2theta) |
|
Double slit interference with wide slits
|
modulated by one slit pattern - reduces/removes some maxima.
|
|
ny = dsinTheta
|
formula for constructive interference from 2(o more) slits diffraction grating.
d is slit width. theta is angular positioning on screan, rad or degrees. n,= 1,2,3... ; n = 0 is central maximum y is wavelength. |
|
Doppler effect
|
change in frequency due to relative motion between source and observer.
|
|
Doppler effect - direction of relative motion
|
Towards- frequency increases.
Away- frequency decreases. |
|
Doppler effect with reflection.
|
two frequency shifts! first reflecting object acts as a moving observer, then moving source.
|
|
moving source: f' = f(v/v+-Us)
|
Doppler effect sound
f' is observed frequency f is source frequency v is wave speed Us is source speed. |
