WAVE Opt—Ics Ped Ol * Wave front is a locus of particles having same phase. * Direction of propagation of wave is perpendicular to wave front. ® Every particle of a wave front acts as a new source and is known as secondary wavelet. Coherent source If the phase difference due to two source at a particle point remains constant f i f i i i i f i i f t with time, then the two sources are considered as coherent source f BN a he a Aah YOUNG'S DOUBLE SLIT ---~ Rea = ras re PO Wetctty eas eee) Peed al ae Morons For constructive interference Path difference Nera Por iT bit i FRINGE WIDTH------ ot Evaro eM en CTI Cn ae otc dec y - i x maxima of successive order on {{ 2nd a5 being approximately parallel, at angleé to the principle axis.
