Different interpretation of double slit experiment.

Updated: Jul 14, 2020

We wanted to end the drama of particle being at different positions

in a single time until we measure it.

We should understand that actually it is the probability density

waves which is passing through both the slits and interfere,hence

telling us where should the electron is more likely to end up.

From the above figure we can see that the electron interference

pattern doesn't have complete dark fringes from this we can say

that it is its probability wave interfering and not its matter wave.

Does that not seem what we were interpreting about matter wave

was wrong. It may be noted that electron behaves as a particle as

such but it is its probability density of finding its position has

wave behavior therefore constituting both wave and particle

duality.


double slit experiment


We do understand that we don't know through which slit the

electron passes through. So now considering the electrons point of

view is electron also confused about it?

And also we need to understand the requirement of two waves for

interference and these waves are probability waves for an electron.

But while interpreting the particle nature of it we should not

directly infer what probability waves say.

What if the interference pattern we obtain from double slit is mere

superimposition of images of two separate diffraction patterns of

electrons through a single slit arises due to heisenberg’s

uncertainty principle as electrons passes through the slit the

uncertainty in finding its position reduces dx therefore uncertainty

in its momentum significantly increases thereby resulting its

probability waves to undergo diffraction.


But after all this interpretation could be completely wrong.
