You just tested the hypothesis a proposed model for the position of bright fringes produced by two slits. Explain what the model says and what you found in your investigations with the simulation.

Answer:

two-slit interference model was proposed by Young d sin θ = m λ

Step-by-step explanation:

The two-slit interference model was proposed by Young, it establishes that if a coherent source of light passes through two slits, the shape of the given pattern is a consequence of the relative phase difference between the two rays; mathematically it can be expressed by

d sin θ = m λ

m= 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

for constructive interference, that is, the two rays arrive with a number between wavelengths.

D is the distance between the slits, tea the angle between the two rays, m an integer and m the wavelength used.

In a simulation a pattern of slits of equal intensity and equally spaced is observed.
