I am trying to understand how QM theory (wave-functions) are applied to Interference pattern calculations for unequal slits for a single particle double slit experiment
case 1: both slits are equidistant from the "center", however one slit is bigger and the ratio of the width between the slits is say 80:20
case 1: equidistant but different slit width
________________________________________________________
case 2: both the slits are equal width however one slit is father away from the slit than the other and the ratio of the distances from the center is in the ratio of say 80:20
case 2: same width of slits but not equidistant
how would we go calculating/prediction the interference pattern per QM (wave-function)?
______________________________________________________________
for case 1:
would we assume (per QM theory) that 20% of the wave function passes through the narrower slit and 80% of the wave-function passed through the wider slit? ...and then interferes?
for case 2:
what do we have to assume for the wave-function?
