Diffraction intensity at a slit and at a wire - Babinet's theorem

Article No: P2230601

An aperture consisting of a single slit and a complementary strip (wire) is illuminated with a laser beam. The corresponding diffraction patterns are measured according to position and intensity with a photocell which can be shifted.

Key Features
  • surprisingly a slit and a wire show basically the same diffraction pattern
  • measurements prove a theorem that sounds awkward at first glance
  • sturdy setup allows good reproducability of results
