SECTION- C
CASE STUDY
12. The principle of superposition is used to understand the phenomenon of
interference of light waves. The principle states that at a particular point,
the resultant displacement produced by a number of waves is the vector
sum of the displacements produced by each wave. Light waves from two
coherent sources produce interference pattern. Thomas Young devised a
way to obtain two coherent sources using two identical pinholes (S, and
S,) illuminated by a single monochromatic pinhole source S. Using these
sources in his experiment known as Young's double slit experiment,
Young studied the interference pattern. The pattern consists of alternate
bright and dark fringes. The distance between two successive bright or
dark finges depends on the distance between S, and S2, the distance of the
screen from the plane of S,S, and the wavelength of light used.
