And we see here that-- -- say take the original yellow one--
-
there's a lot; all this stuff is nearly on the plane,
-
and halfway between the plane there's not very much,
-
just a thin cross-section of the wire.
-
But as the planes get closer and closer,
-
the fact that the wire has a finite thickness
-
means that some parts of the wire, the same part of the wire,
-
are out-of-phase compared to others.
-
So because of the finite thickness you expect it
-
to slowly fall off in intensity as you go out;
-
but you'll then get the third one along the branch and so on.
-
And you can do the same trick in the other direction.
