Possibly the simplest quantum physics question EVER

[QUOTE="mfb, post: 4520536, member: 405866"] They are not proportional to each other. Right. Fill in: You know that the distance from both slits to the maximum is the same. This means ____ interference between both (=you have a ____). Amplitudes from different sources (different slits) can be _____ to get the overall amplitude. Let's assume the amplitude with just the first slit is 1 (units don't matter here). The amplitude with just the second slit is 1 as well due to the symmetry. If both slits are open, you can _____ the amplitudes and the result is _____ (due to the first "___"). The relation between intensity and amplitude is in your textbook, and nearly every description of the double-slit experiment. Once you have the amplitudes (for 1 and for 2 slits), the intensities are easy to calculate. [/QUOTE]
