times greater than the original single wave and in destructive interference it becomes zero. According to Jain physics as I have shown in the articles 'Intensity of Light' and 'New Concepts About Doppler's Effect', intensity of light depends only upon the number of photons per unit area, per unit time. Here, in the constructive and destructive inferference, it is applicable.
According to modern physics a distance between two consecutive bright
fringes is
=
and a distance between two consecutive dark fringes is
also x=. It means that the area in which the photons are incident becomes half the original area and all the photons coming from both slits, fall on this half area. Hence the number of photons become double and area becomes half. As a result the number of photons per unit area per unit time becomes four times greater than that of a single wave coming from any single slit.
Here the intensity of bright fringes formed due to constructive interference becomes four times greater than the intensity of single wave coming from the single slit and the intensity of dark fringes becomes zero due to destructive interference.
Thus the most important phenomenon called interference can be interpreted with the help of corpuscle theory only.
THE GENERAL NOTIONS ABOUT HUMAN UNDERSTANDING.... WHICH ARE ILLUSTRATED BY DISCOVERIES IN ATOMIC PHYSICS ARE NOT IN THE NATURE OF THINGS WHOLLY UNFAMILIAR, WHOLLY UNHEARD OF, OR NEW...... WHAT WE SHALL FIND IS AN EXEMPLIFICATION, AN ENCOURAGEMENT, AND A REFINEMENT OF OLD WISDOM. JULIUS ROBERT OPPENHEIMER SCIENCE AND THE COMMON UNDERSTANDING P.8-9
