Double Slit Interference

Also known as Young's double slit experiment, double slit interference consists of allowing a plane wave to pass through two narrow slits spaced a distance a apart and observing the intensity distribution given by interference between two parts of the wavefront on a screen placed a distance s away from the slits as a function of offset y.
