Image-plane interference fringes


Two-hole broad-band interference pattern.

This program simulates the polychromatic interference pattern produced by a two-hole aperture. The user can interact with the simulation using the mouse.

  • Drag the mouse (up/down) to change the distance between the holes
  • Drag the mouse (left/right) to modulate the optical path difference between the two holes
  • SHIFT-Drag the mouse (up/down) to zoom on fringes
  • Click on the button below to switch between mono- and poly-chromatic modes
