Unraveling the Truth Behind the Double Slit Experiment

The double slit experiment has been a cornerstone of quantum mechanics but has often been misinterpreted. Commonly, it is stated that if electrons are not observed while passing through the slits, they behave like waves, creating an interference pattern. Conversely, when they are observed, they act like particles and form distinct clumps. This popular claim, reiterated by various physicists and even in educational content, ultimately misrepresents the findings of the experiment, leading to a misunderstanding of quantum behavior.
