“…Students also tend to think that when the width of a single gap is decreased then the bright central pattern formed on the screen will become narrower as well. This is because students' concepts about diffraction and image formation are still mixed [8].…”

Structured inquiry-based learning assisted by a virtual laboratory is necessary for senior high students to help their conceptual understanding of wave optics. Experimental mixed-method design with one group pretest-posttest model used for physics class. Data collected from an interview, observation, pretest, and posttest in quantitative and qualitative data. The result is structured inquiry-based learning assisted by virtual laboratory effective improving students' conceptual mastery of wave optics. Furthermore, it also has been found that students still have some difficulties with interference and diffraction after learning.

“…Researches on student learning optical diffraction and interference evidenced different order of problems: tendency to use the geometric model for interpreting diffraction or to use hybrid or contradictory models in different situations [3][4][5]; difficulty to incorporate in a consistent pattern, the concept of the wave front and the concept of ray [3,6]; difficulties to consider a wave to be a traveling disturbance consisting of any displacement of the propagation medium from equilibrium [7][8].…”

“…For that, different approaches were proposed: the operative approach suggested in the Tutorial of the group of Washington University starting from the analysis of the wave on a water surface and stressing on the role of the superposition principle to construct the mathematical relationships for locating the maxima and minima of an interference pattern [1]; the suggestion to stress on the sole of the superposition principle in the researches of the Viennots' group [6]; the stress on the exploration of different situation by Maurines' group [5].…”

A research-based educational path on diffraction of light was designed for upper secondary schools. Through the experimental exploration of the diffraction pattern produced by a laser beam incident on a single slit, students first analyse the diffraction pattern qualitatively, recognizing the global properties, then measuring with on-line sensors the light intensity vs position, constructing empirical relations between order and position of minimum, order and position of maximum, position and intensity of maximum. Making a wave hypothesis on the nature of light, a computer model based on Huygens' principle takes into account the intensity pattern of light. Experiments in school were performed with students, using inquiry based learning tutorial worksheets e pre-test, post-test. Positive learning indications of students emerged concerning the role of diffraction in everyday situations, and the general features of the diffraction pattern. The findings suggests that to produce an effective change in the model of light, students need to reflect extensively in the hypothesis at the base of their prevision and to by involved in deep in a modelling activity.
