AI Thread Summary
Integrating the two-slit experiment into building design presents challenges due to the scale of light interference patterns, which would be on the nanometer level and not visible in a large space. The required slit width must be comparable to the wavelength of light to observe any noticeable effects. Without monochromatic light, achieving a clear interference pattern is unlikely, but a rainbow effect could be a more practical outcome. The discussion highlights the complexities of applying quantum physics concepts to architectural design. Overall, while the idea is intriguing, practical implementation may not yield the desired visual results.

This isn't a homework question per se, but I did want help with a problem I'm having. I wanted to integrate the effect of the two slit experiment into a sanctuary space I'm designing and wanted to know first if it was even possible to do it on a building scale and if it is, how wide and far apart do the slits have to be from 34' apart to get the interference pattern of a single slit experiment to have the darkest part be 19' away from the center. Sorry if this is already confusing.

On the scale you are talking, the light and dark bands are likely to be nanometres apart - or even closer - so you wouldn't notice them anyway. Remember the slit width has to be of the order of wavelengths to notice an effect.

Unless you can arrange some monochromatic light, the best you could hope for is a rainbow effect
 
That would probably be better than I was originally planning. Thanks a lot.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
