Learning Goals for Chapter 36

Diffraction

Diffraction

Shadows created by straight edge SHOULD form a perfectly sharp line.

Nope!

Wave nature of light causes interference patterns, which blur the edge of the shadow.

Diffraction

vs. Interference?

Both use same

p

rinciple! PATH LENGTH DIFFERENCES create PHASE differences in arriving light intensitiesBut with diffraction, EVERY slit creates its own interference pattern! And multiple slits reinforce that pattern!

© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide12

Pattern arises because different points along

the opening (the slit)

create

wavelets

that

interfere with each other

just

as a double slit would.

Diffraction

AND Interference

Diffraction minima are labeled by integer

m

d = ±1, ±2, … (“d” for “diffraction”). Compare with interference pattern formed by two very narrow slits with distance d between slits, Here d is four times as great as the single-slit width

Resolution of a grating spectrograph

In spectroscopy it is often important to distinguish slightly differing wavelengths.

The minimum wavelength difference

Δ

λ that can be distinguished by a spectrograph is described by the chromatic resolving power R.For a grating spectrograph with a total of N slits, used in the m

th order, the chromatic resolving power is:

X-ray diffraction

When x rays pass through a crystal, the crystal behaves like a diffraction grating, causing

x-ray

diffraction. © 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide54

A simple model of x-ray diffraction

To better understand x-ray diffraction, we consider a two-dimensional scattering situation.

The path length from source to observer is the same for all the

scatterers

in a single row if θa = θr = θ.© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide55

Circular apertures

The diffraction pattern formed by a circular aperture consists of a central bright spot surrounded by a series of bright and dark rings.

Diffraction & Image resolution

Diffraction limits

resolution

of optical equipment, such as telescopes.

Larger aperture = better resolutionLonger wavelength = worse resolution

Rayleigh’s criterion for r

esolution of two point objects:Two objects are just barely resolved (distinguishable) if center of one diffraction pattern coincides with first minimum of the other.© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide58

Smaller light, better resolution

© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide59

Bigger light, worse resolution

© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide60

Bigger light, worse resolution

© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide61

Bigger telescope, better resolution

Because of diffraction, large-diameter telescopes, such as the VLA radio telescope below, give sharper images than small ones.

© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide62

What is holography?

By using a beam splitter and mirrors, coherent laser light illuminates an object from different perspectives.

Interference effects provide the depth that makes a three-dimensional image from two-dimensional views.

© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide63

Viewing holograms

H

ologram is record on film of interference pattern formed with light from a coherent source & light scattered from object.

Images formed when light

is projected back through hologram.Observer sees virtual image formed behind hologram.© 2016 Pearson Education Inc.Slide64
