Hi Scholars!The two slit experiment is like studying the fundamentals of Quantum Physics. Anyway, on the two slit experiment, where individual photons are fire one at a time on the 1st screen that has two slits. The photons would either go through both slits, or through the left slit or through the right slit. On the second screen, it's like a photographic plate that captures light. Well, when hundreds of photons have gone through the first screen, the photon goes on to hit on the second screen where eventually an interference pattern will emerge. The photons hits randomly on the second screen but interference still appears. 100% accuracy can be calculated in a group of photon distribution. Hence, using the equation: x=(m * w * L) / d. x=position, m=order, w=wavelength, L=distance between screens, d=separation of slits. This equation is utilized to find out how far apart are bright fringes from the center bright fringe. However, it cannot be done for an individual photon. Now, if someone could predict the future hits on the second screen. What would be the ramifications? It's only a hypothesis but what would happen if this could be done without disturbing the interference pattern. Would that change current theories?
