Part 6/9:
In terms of quantum mechanics, the wave function designates the dual nature of both light and electrons. When both slits are open and unobserved, the wave function allows electrons to traverse both paths, eventually resulting in an interference pattern. Measurement effectively alters this state, compelling the system to indicate a specific path.
Interestingly, despite the appearance of being discrete events when arriving on the screen, these electrons reflect a wave-driven process stemming from the quantum wavefunction. This interplay between wave and particle characteristics has profound implications.
