Generation

# Double-Slit Interference When waves (like light or water) pass through two narrow slits, they spread out and overlap on the other side. Where the wave peaks from both slits meet, they add together to create bright spots (constructive interference), and where a peak meets a trough, they cancel out to create dark spots (destructive interference). This creates an alternating pattern of bright and dark bands on a screen, which is direct evidence that light behaves as a wave. The really mind-bending part is that even single particles like electrons or photons create this same pattern over time, revealing the quantum nature of matter and light.
