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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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