Double Slit Problem Involving Superposition of Wave Equation [closed]
Here's my question:
To be clear it's part (iv) that's unclear to me.
I can see that the important bit is that the exposure is over a LONG time. Hence, this must have some implication on the manner ...

Does the observer or the camera collapse the wave function in the double slit experiment?
Ok so if we setup a camera before the slit we will find a single photon and will follow through accordingly, likewise by having a camera setup after the slit, we can retroactivly collapse the wave ...

Young experiment: square of classical real wave function
I can't understand why the sum of two real waves result in a time dependent wave, but not so for the complex waves.
In details, I can't get this passage on p.38-39 in A.C. Phillips, Introduction to ...

How is wavefunction probability redistributed after partial wavefunction collapse?
Suppose I set up the double-slit experiment using photons as my particle. Behind the left slit I place a beam splitter that points some of the light off in the direction of a camera (represented as ...

what is phase angle of wave function $\phi \,$?
this is wave function:
$$\Psi{(\vec r, t)}=\Psi_0 e^{i(\vec k \cdot \vec r-\omega t)}$$
$$\Psi{(\vec r, t)}=A e^{i(\phi + \vec k \cdot \vec r-\omega t)}$$.
what is phase angle $\phi$ of wave ...

How Light or Water Intensity is equal to square modulus of wave function of Light or Water Waves $I=|\psi|^2 \,$?
I've seen the Wave Function as a psi $\Psi$ $\psi$.
And always heard that the wave function is the Complex Number as Imaginary and real number.
But I've never seen it
I've never seen components of ...

Young's double slit
Am I right to think the (general) probability distribution of photon in a double slit experiment at the screen has the form $|\psi|^2 = c e^{\alpha x^2}\cos^2(\beta x)$? (Due to the superposition of ...
