Abstract:
We examine the double and triple slit systems and their analysis using the popular superposition principle. This
approach is only approximately true as the boundary conditions are different in each case. We define a quantity
which can be used to quantify the deviation of the actual solution from those obtained from naive superposition
principle and present two methods which can be used to obtain solutions and measure their deviation using the
defined parameter. We then compare the two methods in the domain where they are expected to match.
