With this apparatus, we canįind out experimentally the answer to the question: “What is the (in what we will call the $x$-direction). When we wish, we can empty the box and count the number ofīullets that have been caught. Any bullet that enters the detector will be stopped andĪccumulated. Object which we shall call a “detector” of bullets. Has in it two holes just about big enough to let a bullet through.īeyond the wall is a backstop (say a thick wall of wood) which will In front of the gun we have a wall (made of armor plate) that (randomly) over a fairly large angular spread, as indicated in theįigure. It is not a very good gun, in that it sprays the bullets We have a machine gun that shoots a stream ofīullets.

We consider first theīehavior of bullets in the experimental setup shown diagrammatically inįig. With the behavior of waves like water waves. Setup, with the more familiar behavior of particles like bullets, and Shall compare and contrast their behavior, in a particular experimental To try to understand the quantum behavior of electrons, we Mike The Feynman Lectures on Physics New Millennium Edition Your time and consideration are greatly appreciated.
