Consider a single-slit diffraction experiment using electrons. (Single-slit diffraction was described in Section 33.4.) Using Figure 39.5 as a model, draw
a. A dot picture showing the arrival positions of the first 40 or 50 electrons.
b. A graph of |ψ(x)|² for the electrons on the detection screen.
c. A graph of ψ(x) for the electrons. Keep in mind that ψ, as a wave-like function, oscillates between positive and negative.
