Available Languages: English, Chinese

This simulation allows the user to investigate the diffraction pattern due to opening in a ripple tank. The user can change the wavelength of the waves, and the slit width.

This is a part of the "Learn Physics using Java" library of simulations.

Please note that this resource requires Java Applet Plug-in.
