Magnetism Organizes into a Wave: Meaning for Standard and a Fundamental Model

Bhekuzulu Khumalo

Published Sep 30, 2021• 1 citation

Abstract

After 10 experiments, (1)nine inspired by the (2)double slit experiment and (3)one merely measuring what is coming out of a magnet with no man-made interference like a barrier with slits. This one experiment could itself alone prove what took nine experiments to prove for the paper "Magnetism: Insights from the Thomas Young Experiment." The tenth experiment was merely a control experiment to understand basic quantum behaviour of magnetism.

Magnetism: Insights from the Thomas Young Experiment

Bhekuzulu Khumalo

The principles of Thomas Young’s double slit experiment are used to find out further the nature of magnetism. This paper shows that not only can magnetism be defined as a wave but it allows us to understand the nature of all waves and concept of polarization in quantum mechanics. A wave pattern results from the interactions. It is something else before it organizes into a wave formation. In all, because of the nature of magnetic phenomenon, it must be studied at close range with the double slit experiment. This gives an incredibly unique insight. All data is available at figshare.com to share.

Interference

Jonathan Allday

Science, as it is generally described at school, starts with experimental data. Scientists then have to find some hypothesis which explains these results. Using this hypothesis, a prediction is made about what might happen in a slightly different experiment. The double-slit experiment is a modified version of the setup first used by Thomas Young in 1801. Young’s version is a classic experiment that, at the time, seemed to have settled the dispute between wave and particle views of light decisively in favour of waves. The idea that particles might display some wavelike properties dates to the mid-1920s when a young PhD student called Louis De Broglie was thinking about the dual wave/particle nature of light. A quantum mechanical description of the double-slit experiment must involve a set of amplitudes governing the passage of an electron through the slits to the far detector.

Double slits with single atoms

Andrew James Murray

Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment is famous for demonstrating the principle of interference. Andrew Murray explains why it’s now possible to carry out an equivalent experiment using lasers that have excited individual rubidium atoms

Universal Mechanics: The Double-Slit Experiment

Asa Atallah

The double-slit experiment is usually taken as evidence that a particle is also a wave. We show by simulation that a definite particle, moving through a physical medium and guided by its own wave, produces the same interference pattern, with no constant fitted to the pattern. Space is modeled as a compressible particle medium with a short-range stiffness. A particle set in motion disturbs it once. The disturbance disperses, and the particle carries with it the part of the wave whose group velocity matches its own speed, so the wavelength at the particle is fixed by its speed alone, λ ∝ 1/v, with no oscillator and no continued pushing. That wave passes through two slits and interferes as any wave does. The particle passes through one slit, keeps its speed, and takes its direction from the flow of the wave around it. It lands where the wave is bright. Hundreds of particles, sent one at a time, reproduce the wave's own pattern: at three speeds and two slit spacings, up to nine bright lanes with empty dark bands between them, lane spacing that scales with the wavelength of the wave it carries, the same pattern for a stream of particles as for one, and no lanes when one slit is closed. The rule that steers the particle has no strength, no frequency, and no free constant, and it is the same rule at every scale because each particle's wave is sized to itself. The result depends on one condition: that the particle's launch point lie well beyond the near-field distance of the slit pair, which laboratory sources satisfy. We record the rules that were tried and failed and the numerical pitfalls, and we state what remains open: the silent coast is a postulate, the mass dependence of the wavelength is untested, and the work is two-dimensional.

Two Slit Interference, Graphical Representation

Kamal L Rajpal

Thomas Young’s interference experiment (1803) is very simple to perform but, even after more than 200 years is one of the most difficult to understand. Quantum physics offers a mathematical model for the observed wave-particle dualism. This article gives a physical model for the wave-particle duality nature of photons.

Young’s Double-Slit Interference Observation of Hot Electrons in Semiconductors

Kazuhito Furuya, Yasunori Ninomiya, Nobuya Machida +1 more

We have carried out Young's double-slit experiment for the hot-electron wave in man-made semiconductor structures with a 25-nm-space double slit in an InP layer buried within GaInAs, a 190-nm-thick GaInAsP hot-electron wave propagation layer, and a collector array of 80 nm pitch. At 4.2 K, dependences of the collector current on the magnetic field were measured and found to agree clearly with the double-slit interference theory. The present results show evidence for the wave front spread of hot electrons using the three-dimensional state in materials, for the first time, and the possibility of using top-down fabrication techniques to achieve quantum wave front control in materials.
