again, comrades academicians – sorry, we did not understand. Here, these are your drawings. The course of the electromagnetic waves is clearly shown here. They are in the dark zone – there are! But they are not visible. From the word “absolutely”. Where did they go?
And the fairy tale about the white bull begins all over again.
Leaving aside the subject of long-range action of the edges of obstacles for later, I decided to take a closer look at the interference.
…The paradigm of modern science – light and dark zones of the interference pattern are formed by superposition of electromagnetic waves. There are serious questions here (see above). Why not imagine that the edges of objects themselves distribute the light in their chosen directions? Well, or, forgive me, the clouds of ether accumulated near them. In bodies there is a discrete distribution of microparticles – elementary emitters. They can deflect the beam in selected directions, creating only the appearance of interference. Is there nothing to do with classical superposition?..
The first thing that surprised me when I took up the experiments was that light not only bends around an obstacle, but also repels from it. The books confirmed what had previously slipped past consciousness. The edge scatters light in all directions. Which is quite consistent with the hypothesis of a material beacon that sends out photons in the chosen directions.
Diffraction. The edge of the obstacle sends out photons in opposite directions. Elementary, but incomprehensible
Now carefully, dear reader. We create screens from various materials, expose them to the beam and observe the interference pattern. According to the above calculations, the picture is made up of the interaction of lighthouses. The edges of the objects “agree” in which directions the light should be emitted. There are zones in which to send photons, according to the law of conservation of energy is prohibited. If the screens are made of different materials, the “interference” pattern they create will be different. Or it won’t be at all. These transmitters operate at different frequencies and therefore cannot match the light distribution.
Experience in interference from screens with different physical and chemical composition
The usual interference pattern at the intersection of the fan of rays from the edges of obstacles (right half)
…No differences were found in the patterns of interference fringes when screens made of different materials were combined. The hope was for a complete, even demonstrative absence of interference lines in the area of overlapping “dissimilar” rays. It was not possible to identify differences in the distance between obstacles up to 40 cm. Presumably, the distance at which our “beacons” stop communicating with each other is too great for a home laboratory…
…The interference from the edges of opaque liquids was investigated. And in this case, the interference pattern is formed clear, and immediately.
Interference at the boundaries of biological objects, from slices of root crops, such as potatoes, apples and beets, has been investigated.
The classical principle of interference as a superposition of electromagnetic waves confirms its reputation.
But it is not exactly
…Dear reader! In this book, the experiments are presented as if the author performs them in order, in accordance with a certain, previously prepared scheme. This is not true. All life, including science, is a mixture of assumptions, experiments carried out at different times, combined for the convenience of our reading. The experiment described below was carried out one of the first, in the mid-1990s. Even then, my youthful curiosity was tormented by the question of where the waves crossed in antiphase go. Air, water or electromagnetic – in general, it doesn’t matter. So where?
Not finding the answer in various kinds of manuals in physics, the author turned to experience. He was not alone in his doubts. This, perhaps my first article was published. I present the revised version.
Electromagnetic waves in antiphase. For convenience of presentation, only one component of the beam is shown
So friends, let’s imagine that we took two single-color beams from good lasers and crossed them at a negligible angle (see Fig.). In antiphase. What should happen in this case?
The light… will disappear.
Logically, this is how it happens. But physics is above linear logic. Moreover, it is even higher than higher mathematics. Material objects do not at all want to be added, subtracted and multiplied in some way. They are what they are. And with this, as well as with the temper of a capricious wife, given to you forever, in joy and sorrow, you have to put up with.
The measure of truth is a natural experiment. Therefore, having swayed a little, I proceed to physical experiments.
Experience with “black light”
Take a look at the picture, curious reader. Number (3) indicates a source of coherent light, a laser pointer. (4) – diffraction grating. Here the light is split into many coherent rays. If you put a piece of paper in the path of this mixture, we will see a speckle. That is, a set of black and white (or, indeed, red and black) dots, similar to what we see on an unset TV screen. In the black areas, according to textbooks, the crossed beams (1,2) are added in antiphase. And, therefore, they disappear for a while for the world.
What if, in such an invisible state, light completely ceases to interact with gross matter? In particular, with hitherto impenetrable screens? Having passed the prescribed paths without any extinction, the rays go out of each other and appear to the astonished observer as if emerging from the void?!..
…We charge the camera (7) with a film of 400 light sensitivity units. Instead of a lens, we have a tube (6). The obstacle in the path of light is metal foil. We turn on the laser, open the shutter for a few hours. We expect that the paired rays, having overcome the screen in the region of space (5), will disperse inside the tube and illuminate the photographic film. It would be interesting. Something like an X-ray with light in the optical range.
But the miracle did not happen. Photos turned out without flare.
…The beams do not stack in antiphase. One wave with its “top” does not close the “bottom” of another. Where there is darkness, there is simply nothing. Physics textbooks indicate something like this, contradicting themselves, and not revealing the essence of the phenomenon.
Let’s try to formulate the unsaid.
The rays, or what looks like that, are distributed in space by the diffraction grating itself. It is this wonderful set of identical “rods” that decides where the light will be and where the darkness will be.
