Light Diffraction

Explore the wave-like nature of light in a few slit diffraction experiments! Vary key parameters in the experiment, investigate how they affect the interference pattern and gain an intuitive understanding of how light diffraction works!

If you are a student or interested in physics, this app is for you!

Note: It would be greatly appreciated if you can take a moment to rate this app or provide feedback and potential improvements via email!

Simulate experiments such as:
- Young's double slit experiment
- Young's single slit experiment
- Diffraction gratings

Parameters in the experiment:
- Light wavelength
- Distance from slits to screen
- Width of slit
- Distance between slits (Diffraction grating and double slit experiments only)

Great!!! Must to visualize diffraction and interference. I request app developer to include diffraction by circular aperture.

A good step towards making understanding simpler for people. I would be happy if there were an option to change the grating element (d=L/N). Thanks.

Lightweight, reactive app. Single page with 3 modes: single slit, double slit, diffraction grating (20 slits).
