Generation

# Double-Slit Interference Pattern When coherent light passes through two narrow slits, it creates an alternating pattern of bright and dark bands on a screen, with intensity maxima occurring at angles where the path difference equals integer multiples of the wavelength (dsinθ = mλ) and minima where it equals half-integer multiples. This matters because it definitively demonstrates wave behavior of light through constructive and destructive interference. When performed with single particles like electrons or photons, it reveals quantum mechanics' most profound mystery: each particle interferes with itself, behaving as both particle and wave, and the pattern disappears when we try to observe which slit the particle uses.
