Referring to the oil drop video, could a droplet stay in the same spot and if so would the altitude of it's bounce increase? I assume that when the droplet hits on a slope of the pool of oil this causes the droplet to move sideways. If the droplet hits the pool at the node there would be no sideways force and it would bounce straight up. If it hits just as the node was rising then some of the energy would be transferred from the pool to the droplet causing the droplet to bounce higher. Does this make any sense? Good video, enjoyed it.
It's possible that what you're describing is an aspect of quantum tunneling. Not sure, though.
I'll have to look up quantum tunneling, I'm not exactly sure what that is. I was just commenting based on the physics of the droplet bouncing on the pool. It appears that as the droplet rises above the pool and the pool is rippling. As the droplet falls it can hit the ripple of the pool on it's up slope, down slope or when it is flat. If it hits on the slope it will cause the droplet to bounce sideways. If it hits on the flat the droplet should rise perpendicular to the pool. Maybe that is explained by quantum tunneling, I do some reading on it. I find it interesting. Also I watched the third video and I don't exactly understand how the interference pattern is created. Especially if the particle can only go through one of the slits, how can it interfere with itself. Thank you for the response.
I missed that the third video was explaining quantum tunneling (I think). I am still trying to figure out how the interference pattern is created. After I watched it again, she said that if they put sensors on the openings to indicate which opening the particle went through then the target pattern changes to the pattern made when there was only one opening. I'll keep trying to make sense of it. Have a nice day.
