In the second stage of the experiment, slit No. 1 is kept opened while slit No. 2 is kept closed. The results of the experiment are shown graphically by the line P, in flg. 1B.
In the third stage of the experiment slit No. 1 is kept closed while slit No. 2 is kept opened. The results of the experiment are shown graphically by the line P, in fig. 1B.
All the three graphs in figures 13 and 10, make it very clear that P,= Py+ P2
A smiliar experiment can be performed on waves, created on the surface of water. As shown in fig. No. 2, an object is placed on the surface of water for producing waves. It is then oscillated upwards and downwards with the help of an electric motor. The position of the object produces circular waves on the surface of the water.
On the right hand side at a small distance from the object, there are two slits whose central line is attached to the surface of water. Behind it there is a detector for detection of waves. It can be moved in the X direction. The detector fully absorbs all the waves falling upon it, and it also measures the intensity of the waves and their amplitude also. This experiment is also performed in three stages :
1. Measuring with a detector, the intensity of waves at different points, while keeping the two slits opened, we get the graph of the results as shown in fig. No. 2C.
2. Measuring with a detector, the intensity of waves at different points, while keeping slit No. 1 closed and slit No. 2 opened, we get the graph of results as shown by the line !, in the fig. 2B.
3. Measuring with a detector, the intensity of waves at different points, while keeping slit No. 2 closed and slit No. 1 opened, we get the graph of results as shown by the line 1,, in the fig. 2B.
Graphs of single slits show similar behaviour of particles and waves, while graphs in which the two slits are opened, show that the behaviour of particles is different from that of waves.
The intensity of waves 1,, is not obtained by addition of the waves and l. It means that the effects obtained from the two slits are not
