This item is an interactive Java simulation relating to wave/particle duality in the behavior of light. The tutorial explores how both photons and waves behave when diffracted by an opaque surface. Users can observe that particles pass by a barrier undeviated, whereas light waves diffract (or bend) around it. This item is part of a larger collection of materials on optics and microscopy developed by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Florida State University.
Please note that this resource requires Java.

Is Part Of
Molecular Expressions: Light: Particle or a Wave?
This is the full tutorial by the same authors on wave-particle duality. It traces the early history of light refraction theory, from Huygens' 18th century work through the classic double slit experiment. Also included are four related interactive Java simulations. relation by Caroline Hall
Covers the Same Topic As
Molecular Expressions: Optical Microscopy Primer - Particle and Wave Refraction
This is a companion simulation on light refraction. Students use a slider to change the incident angle and observe the light beam behaving in both a particle-like and wave-like manner. relation by Caroline HallKnow of another related resource? Login to relate this resource to it. |
