Interference of Light Waves: Double Slit Experiment

Description

This lecture discusses the interference of light waves through the double slit experiment, where a linear light source emits a monochromatic wave towards two parallel slits. The goal is to determine the minimum distance between the slits for the measured intensity at a point to equal the sum of intensities when each slit is open individually. The problem is solved both theoretically and numerically, with reference to the course material. Various interference terms and calculations are explored.
