This is based on an assumption that may be wrong ..
As far as I know the double slit experiment (with monochromatic light) gives perfect destructive interference which we can use to measure the wavelength of our light. Does the same experiment performed with mono-energetic electrons gives the...
Elaborate, yes of course, sorry.. I knew what I meant, at least I thought I did..
In the background is an LC network resonant at f primed with N photons of energy E ( = h f ) . We 'know' from the classical result that that radiation from any point in this network will 'look' sinusoidal. In...
I don't like to assume things without checking..
Is the distribution really a 'normal distribution' aka Gaussian? Is this an experimental result or a 'good enough' assumption?
I have a similar problem to tempst33k's .. this time with electrons. It seems the wavelength (uncertainty?) is in the direction of travel and my interest is in the 'size' normal to the direction of travel.
A comment on whether the 'uncertainty' and wavelength are or are not the same would be...
Many thanks vanesch, both for your wise comment and suggestion.. I agree it looks laserish .. but if transistors work that way in this circuit then they should always work that way..
This has the potential to be a trip into my own private Crackpot Theoryland. A little handwaving would be...
Hi Vanesch ..
Many many thanks. The overall 'drift' of this question is in the direction of analysing a transmitter at (say) 100Mhz entirely in terms of quantum theory.. from transmitter to receiver. I fear this is as much an exercise in what is 'acceptable' as it is in theory.
Having...
