Part 3/9:
To exemplify this concept, a wave simulator illustrates how waves emanating from both slits overlap. This interaction results in distinct interference patterns: bright bands indicating constructive interference and dark bands indicating destructive interference.
Observing Electrons: A Surprising Outcome
When conducting the double slit experiment using electrons, the initial appearance may suggest particle-like behavior due to the discrete way in which the electrons accumulate on the detection screen. However, as more electrons are added to the screen, it becomes clear that they are forming a pattern resembling the wave interference patterns observed with light.
