|
|
|
Code Number: 7G20.30
Demo Title: Laser Speckle Pattern
Condition: Good
Principle: Two-Dimensional Gratings
Area of Study: Modern Physics, Optics, Astronomy
Equipment:
Laser with diffusing lens, ground glass plate.
Procedure:
Place the diffusing lens on the laser and shoot through the ground glass plate onto a screen. Try to make the speckle pattern at least 6" in diameter for good viewing.
