Consider a single-slit diffraction experiment using electrons. (Single-slit diffraction was described in Section 33.4.) Using Figure 39.5 as a model, draw

a. A dot picture showing the arrival positions of the first 40 or 50 electrons.

b. A graph of $\left|\psi \right(x){|}^2$for the electrons on the detection screen.

c. A graph of $\psi \left(x\right)$for the electrons. Keep in mind that $\psi$, as a wave-like function, oscillates between positive and negative.
