THE TWO-SLIT EXPERIMENT WITH ELECTRONS
(Experiment DS – e – 727 – 0,1 – 2)
The two-slit experiment with electrons (Experiment DS – e – 727 – 0,1 – 2) is described below:
Electrons moving at a velocity V = 727 cm/sec (that is, λ = 0,01 cm according to L. de Broglie law), pass through two slits S1 and S2 of width d = 10λ, namely d = 0,1 cm (d = 1 mm). Slits S1 and S2, lie at a distance b = 2 cm from one another.Also, the distance between slits S1, S2 and screen S, is L = 100 cm.
Thus, in this case, (if Quantum Mechanics truly applies) the electrons passing through the two slits S1 and S2 should form on screen S bright fringes (electron concentration) and dark fringes (zero electron concentration).
The following question is being raised:
In experiment DS – e – 727 – 0,1 – 2 the electrons passing through the two slits S1 and S2 will cause bright and dark fringes to form on screen S will these fringes lie at a stable distance f = 0,5 cm from one another, as Wave Mechanics asserts?
My opinion on the above question is NO!
In other words:
The electrons passing through the two slits S1 and S2 will fall directly onto screen S, without ever forming bright and dark fringes, as Wave Mechanics sates.
Experiment DS – e – 727 – 0,1 – 2 is a simple and low-cost experiment to conduct.
Consequently, the results of experiment DS – e – 727 – 0,1 – 2 will allow us to establish once and for all whether Wave Mechanics (and thus Quantum Mechanics) are two accurate or wrong Theories of Physics.
CONCLUSION
In order to verify whether Wave Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics are two accurate or erroneous Theories of Physics, their experimental checking should be conducted only through “pure diffraction experiments” (P.D.E.).
In no case whatsoever should this checking take place by means of non “pure diffraction experiments” (i.e. experiments involving the use of crystals), such as the Davisson – Germer experiment, etc.
Crystals must be totally absent from our experiments. Reiteration: CRYSTALS MUST BE TOTALLY ABSENT FROM OUR EXPERIMENTS.
This signifies that:
For the experimental checking of Wave Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics Bragg’s law must never be employed.
In other words, in our experiment, the electrons that are emitted from their source should reach the screen without interference from any crystal during their course.
Unfortunately, no “pure diffraction experiments” (P.D.E.) have been carried out so far in order to have Wave Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics experimentally verified, which is a major omission for modern Physics.
Let us hope that such experiments (P.D.E.) will be conducted soon.
It is imperative that the above experiment be carried out so that we can establish if Wave Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics are two accurate or erroneous Theories of Physics.
