1. What was expected to be seen in the double split experiment, was for the light to interfere with its self through the slight difference in the two slits, forming a “zebra” pattern of bright and dark bands on a surface behind the double slit, as light went from constructive interference, to destructive, and back to constructive. While these attributes were visually observed, further examination showed some departures from the expected model. Firstly, instead of having the light being absorbed over the entire surface, it was only being absorbed at specific points on the surface. The second discrepancy was that when the light was actually being examined, all of the light was only going through one of the slits instead of both. a. V = 10 3 lamba = 1/v = 10 -3 Energy b.

While these attributes were visually observed, further examination showed some departures from the expected model. Firstly, instead of having the light being absorbed over the entire surface, it was only being absorbed at specific points on the surface. The second discrepancy was that when the light was actually being examined, all of the light was only going through one of the slits instead of both.

a. V = 103 lamba = 1/v = 10-3 Energy b.
