The video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPdO-NIUuEo&feature=related
shows an electron in motion and I had a few questions about it.
1. Are the "rings" that make it up caused because of interference between the photons and the electron?
2. Is that the reason why the center is completely black?
3. Do these photons have any effect on the electron, such as interfering with its motion?
4. Are they bouncing off of the electron, or "passing through" it to be detected?
Thanks all.
