About This Product
Light from a monochromatic source passing through the two slits gives a pattern of bright and dark interference fringes on a screen. Measuring the fringe spacing lets students calculate the wavelength of the light used. Educational Instrument can arrange export supply of the Young's Double Slit to Kenya, Fiji, Malawi, Mauritius, Bahrain and Chad.
