inference of waves
inference of waves :
the superposition of two or more waves
from a coherent source of waves

principle of super position


principle of superposition :
when 2 waves are overlapped, the resultant
displacement is the sum of the individuals
displacement of the 2 waves
interference with coherent source of
sound waves
two waves are coherent frequency of both waves is
when the same

phase difference is
constant

types of interference constructive


interference
with coherent sound of waves

destructive
interference
constructive interference
wave 1
+
wave 2

= resultant wave

destructive interference
wave 1
+
wave 2

= resultant wave
Drawing Patterns of
Wave Interference

antinode - points where constructive interference occur


node - point where destructive interference occur
Relationship
Between Variables
λ = wavelength
a = distance of separation between two coherent sources
x = distance of separation between two adjacent antinodal
lines or two adjacent nodal lines
D = the perpendicular distance from the sources and the
position where the value of x is measured

-formula-

determining the wavelength :


solving problem
Figure shows Young’s double-slit experiment which
produces interference pattern on the screen. The
distance between adjacent bright fringes is 4.5 mm.
What is the wavelength of the light used??
solution
