  2. Young's interference experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_interference...

    The middle of the two portions is always light, and the bright stripes on each side are at such distances, that the light coming to them from one of the apertures, must have passed through a longer space than that which comes from the other, by an interval which is equal to the breadth of one, two, three, or more of the supposed undulations ...

  3. Bell test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test

    In many experiments, especially those based on photon polarization, pairs of events in the two wings of the experiment are only identified as belonging to a single pair after the experiment is performed, by judging whether or not their detection times are close enough to one another.

  4. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The standard interpretation of the double slit experiment is that the pattern is a wave phenomenon, representing interference between two probability amplitudes, one for each slit. Low intensity experiments demonstrate that the pattern is filled in one particle detection at a time.

  5. Rutherford scattering experiments - Wikipedia

    Rutherford's equation predicted that the number of scintillations per minute s that will be observed at a given angle Φ should be proportional to: [18]: 11 cosec 4 ⁠ Φ / 2 ⁠ thickness of foil t; magnitude of the square of central charge Q n ⁠ 1 / (mv 2) 2 ⁠ Their 1913 paper describes four experiments by which they proved each of these ...

    They set a limit on the anisotropy of the speed of light resulting from the Earth's motions of Δc/c ≈ 10 −15, where Δc is the difference between the speed of light in the x- and y-directions. [33] As of 2015, optical and microwave resonator experiments have improved this limit to Δc/c ≈ 10 −18.

  7. Aspect's experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect's_experiment

    An experiment introduced the combined variables (time and energy) which, once again, confirmed quantum mechanics. [15] In 1998, the Geneva experiment tested the correlation between two detectors set 30 kilometres apart using the Swiss optical fibre telecommunication network. [16] The distance gave more time to commute the angles of the polarizers.

    The experiments were done by Dr. Howard Maibach and Dr. William Epstein, both faculty members in the school's dermatology department, according to the university. Epstein, a former chair of the ...

  9. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

    The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) ' shortest time '), [1] or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead ...
