DIFFRACTION
Learning Objectives:-
• Define Diffraction
• Understand Huygens Principle of
Diffraction.
• Explain Single Slit Diffraction and its
significance
Class activity:-
Demonstrate wave nature of light
Observe interference pattern in
single slit experiment
DESTRUCTIVE
INTERFERENCE
Review of Waves TERMS
Overlapping of
two waves to
cancel each other
COHERENT
WAVES
Waves having
zero or constant
phase difference
and frequency
TRANSVERSE
WAVES
All the particles of
waves oscillate at
right angles to the
direction of wave
CONSTRUCTIVE
INTERFERENCE
WAVEFRONT
Overlapping of
two waves with
resultant larger
amplitude wave
Straight vertical
lines
representing
crests or troughs

• Diffraction is the resultant of the wave-nature of light.
• When light waves passes through the edges of obstacles or a
narrow aperture, this causes the waves to bend and spread out.
This phenomenon is called diffraction.
• This bending results in formation of (bright and dark fringes)
interference pattern which can be seen on the visualizing screen.
• Wavelets (as in Huygens’ Principle) in a wavefront interfere with
each other.

Single Slit Diffraction Pattern
• All the waves passing through the slit interfere to produce a diffraction
pattern consisting of bright and dark fringes.
• The bright fringes are due to constructive interference, and the dark
areas are due to destructive interference.
• A number “n” represents the order of the bright and dark fringes.
• The intensities of the fringes consist of a central maximum surrounded
by maxima and minima on its either side.
• The central maximum is brighter than the other maxima. The maxima
rapidly decrease as one moves further from the center.

1. The divergence of light from its initial direction is
called __________
2._________discovered the wave nature of light.
3. Constructive interference causes dark fringes/ bands to form on
the screen. True/False.
4. The intensity of central maxima increases if slit width is
narrowed. True/False.
5. What do you mean by Huygen’s wavelets?
6. Can you explain Single slit Experiment?
