In the double-slit experiment with electrons, suppose that the observer uses a detector to determine through which slit the electron actually passes. Does this affect the outcome of the experiment, and why or why not?
 
  A) No, the pattern on the screen remains an interference pattern, regardless of the detector.
  B) No, the pattern on the screen remains a non-interference pattern, regardless of the detector.
  C) Yes, the detector causes the pattern on the screen to suddenly change from an interference pattern with no detector to two tiny spots directly behind each slit with the detector.
  D) Yes, the detector causes the pattern on the screen to suddenly change from an interference pattern with no detector to a non-interference pattern with the detector.
  E) Yes, the detector causes the pattern on the screen to suddenly change from a non-interference pattern with no detector to an interference pattern with the detector.

Did you know?

Vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate) should be taken before any drug administration. Patients should be informed not to use tobacco or caffeine at least 30 minutes before their appointment.

Did you know?

Vampire bats have a natural anticoagulant in their saliva that permits continuous bleeding after they painlessly open a wound with their incisors. This capillary blood does not cause any significant blood loss to their victims.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.

Did you know?

Intradermal injections are somewhat difficult to correctly administer because the skin layers are so thin that it is easy to accidentally punch through to the deeper subcutaneous layer.
