Document Summary
A2: substituting in intensity for a in the amplitude equation, we have. P a area of a divided by total dartboard area is probability of dart landing in a region a, found by taking the: a photon analysis of interference. : denote number of photons that hit detector at a given point: large if x is in the middle of a bright fringe, small if in middle of dark fringe. Ntotal b) photons fired at slits: probability that any one photon ends up at a small rectangular area with width a) at position x x . N total: expected value for number of photons landing in narrow strip at position. 39. 2: connecting wave and photon views (in x at x) a) N rob(in x at x: wave model of light describes interference pattern in terms of wave intensity (x) I which is continuous valued function: photon model describes interference pattern in terms of probability.
