Experiment 2
In this experiment you will send each beam emerging from one analyzer through a second analyzer that is aligned along the same axis. The electrons coming out of the Electron Gun are in a random mixture of different quantum states. Double-click on the green arrow next to Experiment 2 in the navigation menu on the left to conduct the experiment.
- Do the results of this experiment make sense if we think of each electron as existing in a well-defined spin state with respect to the x-axis?
- What does this experiment tell you about the spin (with respect to the x-axis) of electrons coming out of a Stern-Gerlach analyzer?
