Thanks for a very good explanation, particularly why the waves cancel out forming another parallel wavefront.

Hi. Can this explain why when slit length>wavelength, the diffraction is much smaller (,slit length, the diffraction is much more significant?

4:22 shouldn't the new wavefront be slightly curved, not curved all the way back to the obstacle?

If each point on a wavefront can create another circular wave would we see a single disturbance create multiple waves?
@terryfu62194 жыл бұрын
@@AndyMasley usually though a single disturbance only creates one wave so I’m confused on how a wave can create another wave?

“In all directions” includes the whole circle. A semi center of disturbance. Radiates in all directions except backwards.

@MrJking19623 жыл бұрын
@@AndyMasley This is actually a flaw in Huygen's Principle. It ignores, just as you did that if every point is a light source in all directions then it must also go backwards. Nature tells us it doesn't. In 1991 David Miller at Stanford mathematically showed that if every point was a "dipole" rather than a monopole light source then there will be no backward light. This is sort of like Plank solving the Ultraviolet Catastrophe with discrete mathematics but not knowing the why of the discrete nature of Quantum Mechanics. I don't know if his solution stands up in the Physics world that is that photons are dipole. ee.stanford.edu/~dabm/146.html You will probably never draw that semicircle again without considering this. The dipole explanation is a bit daunting but any observant student is bound to say "hey you just drew a circle and said 'every direction'. Does that mean light goes backwards?"

Why doesn’t the wavefront at 4:29 carry on around the waves at the top?
@AndyMasley3 жыл бұрын
I imagined there may be more wavefront above it that I didn't include that would cause it to continue in a straight line, but if that's not there it would carry on around the waves. It wasn't the main point of the demo so I ignored it.
