Abstract
Considering double-slit interference as an optical wave passing a through double-slit hard aperture, the intensity expression of Young's double-slit interference is derived based on Collins diffraction integral. The intensity distribution of Young's double-slit interference is graphically demonstrated. The interference fringes will be changes by adjusting the parameter of slit width, double-slit separation, incident wavelength, etc. Meanwhile, the causes for the different brightness at bright fringe center in Young's double-slit interference are discussed. Additionally, the interference fringe width is calculated. The result agrees well with optical interference theory. As an expanding teach method, it will be helpful to understand the double-slit interference characteristics.
