Yes the beam would lengthen vertically and if you move the projection board closer and further away it would change horizontally.

You're not the only one having problems with both issues. The Double slit experiment suggests particles act as waves "duality". The single slit exp. explains the uncertainty of the momentum of the particle/wave and it's position....Hopefully someone will correct the flaws in the theory so we wouldn't have to explain it at all :

the slit was vertical and the beam broadened horizontally, if the slit was horizontal would the beam lengthen vertically?

Why am I reminded of the Double slit experiment... Is the principle of interference patterns employed in this theory too?
Forgive me, I know nothing and am trying to rectify the problem!

It is non-intuitive because it is all wrong! Einstein hated the theory and called it nonsense (to put it nice). Einstein would roll over in his grave if he knew we continued to teach this.

You cannon know where a quantum particle exists at a given time and also know it's speed/direction of travel. When the slit becomes skinnier than the wavelength itself, it allows you to know the lights particles place in space so precisely that you effectively break the lights ability to act as a lone particle.

extremely nonintuitive it is!

i dont understand how this happens... and when he says this is how the world works.. i don't understand that either... :(... can someone explain please and thank you:)

He is jep and explains it very well

That is too just diffraction. It also happens to be an application of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. Light is one of those things that is kind of understood in the classical world, but better understood in the quantum world. Furthermore, you guys shouldn't be assholes to one another |
