Lloyd’s Mirror is used to produce two-source interference patterns, similar to the pattern produced by laser light passing through two slits. A diverging laser beam strikes a front-surface mirror at a low angle, so that some of the beam reflects off the mirror to a screen, and some shines directly on the screen. The reflected beam forms a virtual second source that interferes with the direct beam. Varying that separation between the laser and the mirror changes the interference pattern on the screen.
