1. Young's double slit experiment breaks a single light beam into two sources. Would the same pattern be obtained for two independent sources of light, such as the headlights of a distant car? Explain. 2. Suppose you use the same double slit to perform Young's double slit experiment in air and then repeat the experiment in water Do the angles to the same parts of the interference pattern get larger or smaller? Does the color of the light change? Explain. 3. Is it possible to create a situation in which there is only destructive interference? Explain. What are the applications of this kind of interference?
