This document summarizes about the young's double slit experiment in a very simple way and helps it to link with the human consciousness which is very interesting and new scope to many people who tries to understand physics and tries to relate it to human aspects. It is a mind blowing experiment a...
Young's double slit introduction | Light
waves | Physics | Khan Academy
Young was the English physicist who first did an experiment of
this kind in 1883. His double slit experiment looked a little
something like this. The laser has to be wide enough that it hits
both holes in a barrier with two holes in it. The distance
between these holes must be comparable to the wavelength of
this laser light. The only portion that's going to get through is
basically this portion here. These are going to be the ones that
make it through.
When a wave encounters a hole or a corner, it spreads out.
This is not going to go in a straight line. It spreads out in two
dimensions. In the same region you 're going to have
constructive and destructive interference.
Every time the wave is exactly in phase when it gets to the
same point, these are all constructive points. Right in the
middle you 'd get a big bright spot. In between each of these
perfectly constructive points, you get a perfectly destructive
point. The same rule as the wave interference for one
dimension was this , remember. For one dimension, delta x had
to be zero.
In order to create a coherent paragraph, the author states that
two waves must be in phase in order to create constructive
interference. The author then goes on to state that the
distance between constructive points is not one wavelength
and the difference in path length that one wave travels to get
there is one wavelength. Lastly, the author states that the
wavelength further to get to this point than the wave from the
top hole is the next possibility for constructive interference.
The Illusion of Time and the Influence of
Consciousness on Reality(Double slit
experiment)
I cover a mind-bending physics experiment that challenges
everything we thought we knew about the nature of reality.
The Eye of Truth experiment was first conducted in 1807 by
Thomas Young, and it proved that light is not just a particle,
