I'm wondering what would happen if you have light (let's say UV) passing through a double slit. That would make an interference pattern right?

How would the photo-electic apparatus respond when palced in the peaks and valleys of the interference pattern?

Lots of electrons from peaks, not so much from valleys. What else were you expecting?

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
