Two Experiments to test Bohr`s Complementarity Principle
... synchronization in such a way that exactly one slit is open and the other slit is closed. Both the slits are never open or never closed for the light from centrally located coherent weak laser source reaching these slits. Expected Results for Synchronization of type A): 1) We expect to observe that ...

... Whether light displays wave or particle nature depends on the object it is interacting with, and also on the experimental set-up to observe it If an experiment is set-up to observe the wave nature (such as in interference or diffraction experiment), it displays wave nature If the experimental se ...

... thereby losing energy all the time. If this were to happen with electrons rotating in their orbits then they would spiral towards and collide with the nucleus, making the atom unstable. The puzzle was then to explain why atoms are stable. Niels Bohr proposed that the electrons could move in orbits a ...

Wave Particle Duality
... Because of Heisenberg’s Principle of Uncertainty, we cannot know both the position and the momentum of an electron at a given time. Rather than give exact location of an electron, the quantum model only gives the probability that an electron will be in a particular spot. The area where there is a hi ...

It is the formalism of quantum mechanics that makes the testable predictions. • As long as an interpretation is consistent with the formalism, it will make the same predictions as any other interpretation, and no experimental tests are possible. • However, there is a ne ...
