Quantum Mechanics The Uncertainty Principle Light Particle's

Single photons are the smallest quantities of light and, despite having no mass, have many properties in common with particles. In fact, physicists often think of photons as particles -- particles that sometimes behave like waves. Physicists sometimes describe all particles as waves -- even those with mass, such as electrons and protons -- in order to better understand certain aspects of their behavior.

"Light goes on PRRRRRRR....Light goes on PRRRRRRR....

Could i maybe interest you in some H2O water as well? Or how about some NaCl salt?

[abcas1990]

You mean refraction , I was asking about diffraction.

[Danny Conway]

there is no change of medium in which the wave is oscillating.

[boobiesmakemesmile06]

Could in not be that the edges of the slit, when very close together, reflect the light? Just an open question.

[Mostafa Zeinali]

I don't know the answer sir, but off the top of my head, one could say that if it was as you suggest, the dot should have never started to become narrower, it should have become wider and wider from the very beginning of the experiment when we started to narrow the slit, so there must be something to that certain width of slit that suddenly changes the behavior of light, and in comes Sir/Dr./Master/God(!!) Heisenberg's theory...

[Ramiromasters]

Well... but that light has a wavelength, if you squish the wave to the point it interferes with itself, then you would obviously see this effect happening. Of course, once you see what happens you can deduct that... so not intuitive but explainable.

[jim jimmy]

i am not sure ...but i think this could be explained by defraction ...

where light defracts on the edges of the slpits doors
