Good observation, but I don't think the angle of the light source is great
enough to account for the number of helical turns within the
given length of the tube.

One other thing. If you aim a laser into the inside of a transparent tube, you
get that barber pole effect spiraling around at a greater or lesser frequency
depending on the angle of the beam into the interior of the tube. So that may

I can't even begin to express how conceptually and experimentally wrong this
demonstration is. The first thing is the perpetuation of the mistaken idea that
photons are wiggling in a sinusiodal fashion. When you see that sine wave, it's
a graph of the varying field as the wave propagates. It's n
