1. Two small slits are made in the middle of the first sheet of cardboard. The cardboard sheets are placed on the newspaper stack before they are cut. This will prevent the table from being damaged. The slit should be 1 mm x 5 mm. The slits are parallel to each other and 5mm apart. Only one slit about 1 mm x 5 mm is made in the middle of the second sheet of cardboard. 2. The experiment is set up as illustrated in figure 1. The light source is placed in front of the cardboard sheet and the ..... |
