    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    It gives me immense pleasure to be associated with this


    project on "Double Split"The project helped
    me in expanding my knowledge on the topic and helped
    in liking theoretical knowledge with practical knowledge.
    The present project has been completed under the
    supervision of our chemistry teacher Mrs.Prathiba
    Kharche.
    I am highly indebted to his able guidance,valuable
    suggestions,and constant encouragement during the
    course of this work.
    I would like to express my gratitude and sincere thanks
    to our principal, Mrs.lshwari K Sharma, for the moral
    support extended during the tenure of this project.

    INTRODUCTION:
    In the experiment, a beam of light is directed at a barrier with two slits,
    and the light's trajectory is observed on a screen behind the barrier.
    When light passes through two slits, it splits into two waves that interfere
    with each other on the other side of the barrier. This interference
    creates a pattern of alternating light and dark regions on the screen.
    Wave-particle duality:
    The experiment demonstrates that quantum systems behave like waves
    when they aren't being observed, but like particles when they are. For
    example, even when researchers fire photons at the barrier one at a time,
    an interference pattern still appears, as if the photons split in two and
    passed through both slits. Uncertainty principle:
    The uncertainty principle prevents the simultaneous observation of the
    wave-like and particle-like nature of matter and energy. For example, if
    researchers try to determine which slit a photon passed through by
    placing a detector at either slit, the detector will disturb the photon's
    momentum and destroy the interference pattern.
    What Is Young’s Double Slit
    Experiment?
    Young’s double slit experiment uses two coherent sources of
    light placed at a small distance apart Usually, only a few
    orders of magnitude greater than the wavelength of light are
    used Young’s double slit experiment helped in understanding
    the wave theory of light, which is explained with the help of a
    diagram As shown, a screen or photodetector is placed at a
    large distance, ‘D’, away from the slits

    Each source can be considered a source of coherent light


    waves At any point on the screen at a distance ‘y’ from the
    centre, the waves travel distances l1 and l2 to create a path
    difference of Δl at the point The point approximately
    subtends an angle of θ at the sources
    1. EXPERIMENT
    AIM: To demonstrate the DOUBLE SPLIT EXPERIMENT
    2.
    MATERIALS REQUIRED: Laser, Measuring tape,Hair,
    Card board,Laser light,Screen
    3.
    THEORY: When a laser encounters an object, it becomes
    distorted resulting in diffraction, or the bending of light.
    In this experiment, a piece of human hair is used to
    demonstrate the process.
    Light can act as a wave, and when it encounters an
    object it splits into regular patters of lines. The size of
    the pattern from this
    diffraction is related to the
    size of the object that
    caused the scatter.
    Splitting of light
    with a hair:
    Thin objects, such as a strand of hair,
    also diffract light. Light that passes
    around the hair spreads out, overlaps,
    and produces a diffraction pattern.
    The monochromatic light is passed
    through the fringe and passing through
    it we could see the patterns, at the
    centre we have a bright light which is
    denoted as central maxima and beside it
    we have 1st,2nd,3rd maxima and minima
    respectively.
    PRECAUTIONS :
    1.Do not look at the laser beam.
    2.Do not point the laser at anybody directly to the eyes.
    3.Do not point the laser beam at any reflecting surface
    such asmirror etc.
    SOURCES OF ERROR :
    1.Diffraction of laser light may differ due to dust
    particles presentin the path of the light.
