the Dual-Slit Experiment

The Double-Slit Experiment demonstrates that light and matter can display both wave-like and particle-like behavior. When particles like electrons pass through two narrow slits, they create an interference pattern on a screen, similar to waves overlapping, indicating wave properties. Surprisingly, even when particles are sent one at a time, the pattern still forms, suggesting each particle interferes with itself. This experiment highlights the fundamental quantum nature of reality, where particles exhibit behaviors dependent on observation, challenging classical physics notions. It reveals that at tiny scales, matter behaves in ways that blend particle and wave characteristics.
