$Diffraction$

Interference experiments with only one photon in the experiment at a time have also showed interference patterns. A previous paper that studied photon diffraction and interference (IntellectualArchive, Vol.1, No. 20, ISSN 1929-4700, Toronto, July 2012.) required several photons in the experiment at the same time. A diffraction pattern of a red laser beam projected onto a plate after passing through a small circular aperture in another plate Diffraction refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or opening. I will try to explain via analogy to classical mechanics. Diffraction is the phenomenon where a wave that passes through a slit, the slit acts as a different emitter from the original wave. Redirecting the Immune System to Kill Cancer Cells More Efficiently: While remarkable progress has been made in the field of oncology, many cancers are still presently incurable. X-ray diffraction data obtained at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source could potentially pave the way for powerful new anti-cancer treatments.

Photon diffraction

Abstract

In current light models, a particle-like model of light is inconsistent with diffraction observations. A model of light is proposed wherein photon inferences are combined with the cosmological scalar potential model (SPM). That the photon is a surface with zero surface area in the travel direction is inferred from the Michelson-Morley experiment. That the photons in slits are mathematically treated as a linear antenna array (LAA) is inferred from the comparison of the transmission grating interference pattern and the single slit diffraction pattern. That photons induce a LAA wave into the plenum is inferred from the fractal model. Similarly, the component of the photon (the hod) is treated as a single antenna radiating a potential wave into the plenum. That photons are guided by action on the surface of the hod is inferred from the SPM. The plenum potential waves are a real field (not complex) that forms valleys, consistent with the pilot waves of the Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics. Therefore, the Afshar experiment result is explained, supports Bohm, and falsifies Copenhagen. The papers may be viewed at http://web.citcom.net/∼scjh/.
