Interference and Diffraction
Principle of Superposition of Waves
a. Statement :
When two or more waves arrive at a point in the
medium simultaneously then each wave produces
its own displacement independent of the other
waves. The resultant displacement at that point is
given by the vector sum of individual displacements
produced by each wave.

Theory of Interference Band
(Expression for bandwidth or fringe width of an
interference band.)

Expression for path difference S2P – S1P :In ∆PNS2 and ∆PMS. By Pythagoras theorem.
S2P2 = S2N2 + PN2
= D2 + (x + d/2)2

..................... (1)

S1P2 = S1M2 + PM2
= D2 + (x - d/2)2

...................... (2)

S2P2 – S1P2 = (x + d/2)2 – (x – d/2)2
= x2 + 2x d/2 + d2/4 – x2 + 2x d/2
– d2/4
= 2xd

..................... (3)
8
9011041155 /09011031155

If x, d < < D, then S1P ≈ S2P ≈ D
Equation (3) becomes.
2D (S2P – S1P) = 2xd
S2P – S1P = xd/D

..................... (4)

For a point P to be bright.
S2P – S1P = (2n) λ/2

.................... (5)

From (3) and (4), xd/D = n λ
x = n λ D/d
Let xn, xn – 1 = distances of nth and n + 1th bright
bands from O.

9
9011041155 /09011031155

Using these in (6),
xn = nλ D/d and xn - 1 = (n + 1)λ D/d
X = Band width of bright band
= xn+1 – xn = (nλ D/d) + (λ D/d) – (n λ D/d)
X = λD/d

..................... (7)

e. For a point P to be dark
S2P – S1P = (2n – 1) λ /2

..................... (8)

From (3) and (8), xd/D = (2n – 1) λ/2
x = (2n – 1) λD/2d

...................... (9)

10
9011041155 /09011031155

Let xn, xn -1 = distances of nth and n - 1th dark
bands from O. Using these in (9).
Xn = (2n – 1) λ D/2d
Xn – 1 = [2(n + 1) – 1] λD/2d = (2n + 1) λD/2d
X = Band width of dark band
= Xn-1 – Xn
= (2nλD/2d) + (λ D/2d) λ – (2n D/2d) + (λ D/2d)
X = λ D/d

...................... (10)

9011041155 /09011031155

Assuming the Expression for Path Difference
Obtain an Expression for Band Width of An
Interference Band
a. From above diagram, bright and dark bands are
placed alternately. Let, n = 0, 1, 2, 3....................
λ = Wavelength of the light used.
D = Distance between the sources and the screen.
d = Distance between the two sources.
For a bright band.
xn = n λ D/d and xn+1 = (n + 1) λ D/d
X = λ D/d
b. For a dark band.
Xn = (2n -1) λ D/2d
Xn-1 = [2 (n + 1) - 1] λ D/d = (2n + 1) λ D/2d
X = λ D/d
12

Conditions for Obtaining Well Defined Steady
Interference Pattern
a. Statement :Two sources must be
i.

equally bright

ii. monochromatic
iii. coherent
iv. as narrow as possible
v. as closed as possible

b. Explanation :i.

This will not give a well-defined interference
pattern.

ii. This will not give a well defined interference
pattern.
iii. This produces unstable interference pattern.
iv. These will not a well defined interference pattern.
13
9011041155 /09011031155

v. Since X = λ D/d. For λ, D = constant
X α 1/d. Therefore smaller the distance between
the sources higher the bond width. This gives a well
defined interference pattern.

Biprism
Two thin prisms of extremely small refracting angle
are connected bases to base. Such a prism formed
is called as “Biprism”. Biprism is used for producing
two coherent sources from a single source.

Biprism Experiment
This

is performed

to

a. Measurement of D :- Distance between slit and the
eyepiece is measured directly from the scale on the
optical bench.
d. Measurement of X :- For this purpose vertical wire
of the cross wire is made coincide with one edge of
the white band and corresponding reading (xn) on
the micrometer scale is recorded using slow motion
screw. The cross wire is moved through known
number of bands (n). Vertical wire is again made
coincide with one edge of the bright band and
corresponding heading (xn) on the micrometer is
recorded.
Mean band width X is obtained by the formula.
16
9011041155 /09011031155

X = Xn – X0/n

e. Measurement of d (method of conjugate foci) :S1, S2 are virtual coherent sources. Distance
between these sources (d) cannot be measured
directly.
1. A convex lens is interposed in between biprism
is so adjusted that real, bright and enlarged
images S1’ and S2’ of S1, S2 are observed in the
focal plane of the eyepiece. Using slow motion
screw distance (d1) between S1’ and S2’ is
measured.
u = object distance

v = Image distance

object size / Image size
= object distance / Image distance
17
9011041155 /09011031155

d/d1 = u/v

......................... (1)

2. Convex lens is displaced towards eyepiece and
its position is so adjusted that real, diminished
and reduced images S1’’ and S2’’ of S1, S2 are
observed in the focal plane of the eyepiece.
Using slow motion screw distance (d2) between
S1” and S2” is measured.
d/d2 = v/u

.........................(1)

Multiplying (1) by (2),
d/d2 = u/v × v/u
d2/d1d2 = 1
d2 = d1d2

d=
