The idea behind the double slit experiment is even if the photons are sent through the slits one at a time, there’s still a wave present to produce the interference pattern.

matplot/numpy graph for double slit interference problem. Problem Prompt: You have a laser that can be tuned to any wavelength of visible light. You shine this laser through a mask with two slits, as ...

In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of light hits two narrow slits. The same effect has also been seen with ...

History of the double-slit experiment Young presented his work “On the theory of colours and light” in 1801 at the Royal Society. In this, he detailed various interference experiments ...

The peaks are the fringes generated by interference between light at different frequencies. And just as the fringes in a conventional double-slit experiment become more spread out in space when the ...
