Figure 1 Relation of planar waves to the laser source with an 0.25-mm opaque barrier bisecting the laser beam, i.e., in an “either-or” configuration (A) and with a film barrier over one-half of the laser aperture (B). The dashed rectangle indicates a glass barrier placed in immediate apposition to one slit.

Figure 2 Interference produced by the two-slit system when (A) no barrier was present, and (B) barrier in place. Note the close similarity of the two-slit dark and light bands for both conditions.
