The phenomenon of forming an interference pattern by using light that passed through a double slit is a basic item learnt in a high school physics course. It is a good example that light possesses a ...

This is a physics simulation of a classical 2D wave using the finite step method. Simulates the double slit (Young's) experiment. It implements a rectangular 2D region, a doble slit and a screen to ...

The experiment, which the English physicist Thomas Young first conducted in 1800, is essentially quite simple: light passes through two thin parallel slits and is projected onto a screen. Because the ...

The double-slit experiment is sometimes called the simplest way of understanding the ambiguity of quantum mechanics. In the experiment, light shined on two slits passes through them to produce a ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...
