Young's double-slit experiment

Young's double-slit experiment is a famous physics demonstration that illustrates the wave-like behavior of light. When a beam of light passes through two closely spaced slits, it creates an interference pattern on a screen behind the slits. Instead of producing two distinct light spots, the light waves overlap and form alternating bright and dark bands. This pattern suggests that light behaves like a wave, as the waves from each slit interfere with each other. This experiment highlights fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics and shows how particles like light can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.
