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 ...

New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment, which proved light behaves as both a particle and a wave. reading time 2 minutes A team of physicists has recreated a classic ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The double-slit experiment is a famous quantum physics experiment that shows that light exhibits behavior of both a particle and a wave. In a new paper, researchers claim ...

The famous double slit experiment shows that particles can travel on two paths at the same time -- but only by looking at a lot of particles and analysing the results statistically. Now a ...

Classical Physics (Physics established mostly by Newton), has one property that we may think that is universal, which is, certainty. For example, by using the mathematics of Newton, we can precisely ...

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 ...
