waves and not streamlines) of the simulation program. Note the paths cross (therefore not streamlines). I also note that the “walking
drop” experiments also show a similar pattern of each drop through the slit
producing a diffraction pattern. This was presented in a Physics Today article
the end of last year. Drops going through the left side ended on the right side
of the diffraction pattern.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457116031805_2558" class="MsoNormal">“Varying intensity across the slit” means more photons go
through one side of the slit. Or, the model of the wave intensity must have
greater intensity on one side of the slit than the other. The “Diffraction
experiment …” paper explains the experimental apparatus to accomplish this. </div>
