Anyone Interested in Discussing My Young's Two-Slit Experiment Results?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a participant's attempts to replicate Young's Two-Slit Experiment using various lasers and materials. They describe their observations of banding patterns and the effects of rotating the slit, noting that they achieved different results without a lens. The participant also shares videos demonstrating their findings, including experiments with a macro mesh filter and a needle's eye. Another user suggests an alternative method for creating slits using a microscope slide. The conversation emphasizes the importance of discussing experimental results and the properties of waves in relation to Young's experiment.

is there anyone who wants to chat about it ? iv tried once here and got not 1 reply,
not even the YOU HAVE DONE IT WRONG
please if you think I am wrong say so and have a chat,
youngs experiment was to do with light nothing more right or wrong ?
iv brought over 15 cheap lasers and broke most stripping them down cheapest was £1 laser level from pound shops,but shouldn't be a isue righ or wrong ?
i when i did the experiment and see the banding patterns i thought if you rotate the slit you should get same resolt as i did so it seemed to projuce a set of ever bigger rings not straight lines,
i then relised that you didnt have to shine the laser through the slit to see the patteren just shine laser dot on to wall and look throught ur slit,i then broke a laser and ended up with the spring loaded lens (all iv stripped down so far have a sprung loaded lens,to ajust the focas)removed and then relised that without the lens the experiment didnt work,
i then noticed that if you looked through the slit close to ur eye that you could see faint lines so many and so faint it is to hard to count at least 7,
iv put a video on youtube showing how to make a 2 slit out of a floppy disk if anyone is interested in looking for there selves

i shined the laser without a lens through a macro mesh filter can get one from grinder or coffie filter and see that you got bands going inward at first it looked as if the mesh patteren was showing up inside every macro square hole in the mesh but it isn't i even shined laser through the eye of a needel and you can dee banding going inwards of the eye not banding going out wards iv got video of that as well the eye of the needel is projected on to my ceeling and looks at least 12 in lengh 8 feet from laser

i would like some one to chat about this and not have every one just read it thanks kev

Hello kevinfrOst.Another way to make the slits is get a small piece of, glass or something similar(a microscope slide would be ideal),paint it black and then using a very sharp blade make your two slits by scraping off the paint.If you so wished you could extend this to investigate three slits ,four slits etc.It is true that Youngs experiment was originally to do with light but interference and diffraction are properties displayed by all waves
 
Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
Thread 'A scenario of non-uniform circular motion'
(All the needed diagrams are posted below) My friend came up with the following scenario. Imagine a fixed point and a perfectly rigid rod of a certain length extending radially outwards from this fixed point(it is attached to the fixed point). To the free end of the fixed rod, an object is present and it is capable of changing it's speed(by thruster say or any convenient method. And ignore any resistance). It starts with a certain speed but say it's speed continuously increases as it goes...
