Quantum leak?Perhaps there need not be "degrees of quantumness" ("Degrees of Quantumness: Shades of Noun 1. shades of - something that reminds you of someone or something; "aren't there shades of 1948 here?" reminder - an experience that causes you to remember something gray in particle-wave duality Duality (physics) The state of having two natures, which is often applied in physics. The classic example is wave-particle duality. The elementary constituents of nature—electrons, quarks, photons, gravitons, and so on—behave in some respects ," SN: 5/12/07, p. 292). As the beams pass increasingly closer to the surface, the plate will induce a small (but increasingly larger) spread of energies (hence wavelengths) in the electrons within the beam, possibly explaining the "smearing out" of the fringes in the interference pattern interference pattern An overall pattern that results when two or more waves interfere with each other, generally showing regions of constructive and of destructive interference. . MICHAEL D. MELOY, SANTA BARBARA Santa Barbara (săn'tə bär`brə, –bərə), city (1990 pop. 85,571), seat of Santa Barbara co., S Calif., on the Pacific Ocean; inc. 1850. , CALIF. Peter Sonnentag of the University of Tubingen in Germany says that the loss of energy is tiny: less than 0.1 percent. Moreover, Sonnentag says that the change in energy could account for a change only infringe spacing, not infringe visibility.--D. CASTELVECCHI |
