[To determine Yhe wavelength of monochromatic/Laser light using Diffraction of Single Slit Expenimen] EG To measuré the intensity using photo sensor and laser in diffraction patterns of single and double slits Apparatus: In avery long optical bench, there are three mounts. The mount at one end caries the laser souee, next one carries the slit (ingle or double) and the third mount at the other end caries the optical detector. The optical detector in the third mount can be replaced by a white screen or another mount available with a white screen, in which we can see the whole diffraction pattern. Laser source may be a Helium-Neon laser (red, 2. = 632.8 nm), ruby laser (deep red = 94.3 nm) or diode laser rom (404 to 690 nm) placed in a slide. The position of the laser beam may be adjusted from left-to-right and up-and-down, The slit should have width 0.1 to 0.5 mm. Itis fitted into a slide and its width is adjustable. The optical detector is a photodiode secured in a mount with a pin hole to allow the light to get into. The detector is mounted on a steel rod and can be moved horizontally along that rod perpendicular to the optical bench by rotating adil knob. This arrangement is called linear translator. As the knob is rotated a fine pointer tfoves over a linear scale graduated in millimetre, From the divisions in the dial of the knob, the least count of fe amangement can be found and position of the photo diode can be read. The intensity at any point of the rc | diffraction pattem may be read by the corresponding current in a multimeter or the corresponding power ‘ecorded in the power meter attached to the optical detector. {The simple description given above may differ from the actual instrument available in the laboratory. Study the instrument at hand and then proceed as instructed by teachers] Theory : Laser light is essentially monochromatic plane wave or the rays are parallel, Hence, Fraunhofer ‘iffraction pattem produced by a single or double slit for laser requires a very simple arrangement. _e single sli of width ais held just infront ofthe laser source so that light falls normally on it anda white ‘sreen is placed at a far distance (D) away from the slit in a dark room, such that rae 2 ‘Dy <
