To understand the cause of constructive and destructive interference for the double-slit experiment, and to explain how the interference pattern depends on the parameters of the emitted waves. For this tutorial, use the PhET simulation Wave Interference. This simulation allows you to send waves through a variety of barriers and look at the resulting interference patterns. Start the simulation. You will see three possible selections: Waves, Interference, and Slits. To change between simulations at any point, select the desired simulation...
To understand polarization of light and how to use Malus's law to calculate the intensity of a beam of light after passing through one or more polarizing filters. The two transverse waves shown in the figure(Figure 1) both travel in the +z direction. The waves differ in that the top wave oscillates horizontally and the bottom wave oscillates vertically. The direction of oscillation of a wave is called the polarization of the wave. The upper wave is described as polarized...

Suppose two plane waves of light with electric field amplitudes E1 and E2 arrive at a detector at time t having travelled different distances z1 and z2. Assume the field vectors have the same polarization direction P. The fields of the two plane waves at the detector individually are Epcos(ω-ka) and E2pcos(ot-kz2) .

Maxwell's equations can be used to show that electromagnetic waves can propagate through space (a) Describe the key aspects of an electromagnetic wave. Your description should mention the electric and magnetic fields, direction of propagation, and speed. A diagram would be useful in explaining these concepts (b) At some point in space, a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave has an intensity of 2.5 Wm2 Calculate the amplitudes of the electric field and the magnetic field at this point.
