Chapter 2, Problem 105

(choose chapter or problem)

Note: Answers to all odd-numbered Problems, numbered in blue, can be found in Appendix III. Exercises in the Problems by Topic section are paired, with each odd-numbered problem followed by a similar even-numbered problem. Exercises in the Cumulative Problems section are also paired but more loosely. Because of their nature, Challenge Problems and Conceptual Problems are unpaired.

Determine whether an interference pattern is observed on the other side of the slits in each experiment.

a. An electron beam is aimed at two closely spaced slits. The beam is attenuated (made dimmer) to produce only 1 electron per minute.

b. An electron beam is aimed at two closely spaced slits. A light beam is placed at each slit to determine when an electron goes through the slit.

c. A high-intensity light beam is aimed at two closely spaced slits.

d. A gun is fired at a solid wall containing two closely spaced slits. (Will the bullets that pass through the slits form an interference pattern on the other side of the solid wall?)
