Hello, my name is Jordan Heath. I am a UBC third year student in the department of physics and am new to this forum. Me and a couple friends are looking into the possibility of constructing the double slit experiment and are currently wondering if it is possible to salvage a pair of CRT's from old monitors or monochrome TV's. I should say that we do know what we are getting into and would have access to the UBC machine shop and have a prof. who is experienced in handling CRT's who will guide and prevent us from blowing our selves up. Assuming that we can discharge and de-pressurize the CRT, insert the slits at the correct location, we should have a working demonstration of the double slit experiment. Thats where I am hopping this community can come in, and either lend experience or wisdom on the topic to our project.
Specifically I have two questions for the community:
1. Is there any reason why a de pressurized CRT once re pressurized should fail to work?
2. Is it reasonable to re pressurize a CRT?
Scientific levels of precision in regards to data collection is not the purpose of this activity, we just want the CRT to display the interference patterns.
I hope this in the correct location and look forward to hearing your input!
