Source-Bound Boundary Scans

Young Wavelength Source Three-Row Scan

Young-fringe positions scale through a checked path-source wavelength. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Short wavelength lands at two metres

The path source first checks wavelength 1 m. With first order, screen distance six metres, and slit spacing three metres, the fringe position is 2 m.

y=1⋅1⋅63=2y=\frac{1\cdot1\cdot6}{3}=2

Double wavelength doubles the fringe position

The path source first checks wavelength 2 m. With first order, screen distance six metres, and slit spacing three metres, the fringe position is 4 m.

y=1⋅2⋅63=4y=\frac{1\cdot2\cdot6}{3}=4

Triple wavelength triples the fringe position

The path source first checks wavelength 3 m. With first order, screen distance six metres, and slit spacing three metres, the fringe position is 6 m.
