Detailed Documentation
This program enables simulation of Young's double-slit interference phenomenon in optics. The implementation includes computational algorithms for modeling wave superposition and interference patterns based on Huygens-Fresnel principle. The core functionality allows users to configure parameters such as slit separation, wavelength, and screen distance to observe resulting interference fringes.
The simulation supports both quasi-monochromatic light (with adjustable bandwidth) and perfect monochromatic light sources, incorporating spectral distribution calculations for accurate wave propagation modeling. Key functions include real-time intensity distribution plotting and fringe visibility analysis, helping users quantitatively study interference patterns.
This tool assists in understanding the underlying physics principles through interactive parameter adjustment and visualization of interference effects. It facilitates comparative analysis of different light source characteristics and their impact on interference phenomena, serving as an effective platform for educational demonstrations and advanced research in wave optics. The code architecture employs modular design for easy extension to additional interference scenarios and light source models.
