When the third volume of The Feynman Lectures on Physics was published in 1965, physicists already knew that firing a beam of electrons at a double slit results in a diffraction pattern because the ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at ...

interference and diffraction in particular. When you passed light through a double slit, it behaved just the same way that water waves do, producing that familiar interference pattern. The light ...

In 1927 Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer observed the diffraction of electron beams from a nickel ... build up over a 20 minute exposure to form an interference pattern in this double-slit ...

Based on the pattern that is detected beyond the ... More information: "Controlled double-slit electron diffraction" Roger Bach et al 2013 New J. Phys. 15 033018 iopscience.iop.org ...

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. The wave is a wave ...
