Diffraction experiment, simulation
Diffraction experiment. Numerical simulation of the interference pattern produced by single-slit diffraction of a harmonic wave front. The wave moves from upper right to lower left in each image. The sequence starts at upper left and finishes at lower right. Here, the slit is much wider than the incident wavelength, causing shadows and beam-like features to appear. This simulation is shown as waves moving across a surface, but is based on the differential equations that describe dispersion-free electromagnetic waves. See C014/7201 to C014/7204 for images showing how the pattern changes with wavelength size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a diffraction experiment simulation, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of wave interference. The image depicts a sequence of frames capturing the movement of a harmonic wave front from the upper right to the lower left. Starting at the upper left and concluding at the lower right, this series vividly illustrates how an interference pattern is produced by single-slit diffraction. In this particular simulation, we observe that the slit used in the experiment is significantly wider than the incident wavelength. As a result, intriguing shadows and beam-like features emerge within the pattern. Although presented as waves traversing across a surface, it is important to note that this simulation is rooted in complex differential equations governing dispersion-free electromagnetic waves. For further exploration into how different wavelengths impact this fascinating phenomenon, refer to images C014/7201 to C014/7204. These additional visuals shed light on how altering wavelength size influences changes within the diffraction pattern. Immerse yourself in this remarkable artwork that seamlessly blends physics and optics with experimental simulations. Delve into its intricacies as you marvel at its ability to model and illustrate various aspects of diffracting single slits through numerical simulations. This extraordinary piece from Science Photo Library truly captures both scientific curiosity and aesthetic beauty simultaneously
