APPLICATIONS:

Named for Thomas Young's classic proof of the wave theory of light in 1803. 

While Young's original experiment used sunlight and calculated the average wavelength to be 550 nm, today using monochromatic and coherent light one can calculate wavelength with the formula here.
 


These elements may be used to demonstrate Young’s Interference Fringes, Michelson’s Stellar Interferometer (for measuring the separation between double stars) or other applications requiring measurement of the separation between point sources.



       PACKAGING
:
Each Young's double slit is packaged in a clear plastic case, which allows for ease of identification and inspection. A second case encloses the part for added protection.
