When
students are asked
|
|
|
to
incorporate the photon
|
|
|
idea
into their previous
|
|
|
observations
they construct
|
|
|
some
bizarre models.
|
|
|
|
– |
Some
students suggest that
|
|
|
photons
move in oscillatory
|
|
|
paths
“along the sine wave.”
|
|
|
|
– |
Some
students suggest that diffraction occurs because
|
|
|
“the
photons bounce off the edge of the slit.”
|
|
|
|
– |
Some
suggest diffraction occurs because “the E-field vector
|
|
won’t
fit through the slit and gets cut off.”
