WAVE PARTICLE DUALITY OF LIGHT: SUMMARIZED - PART TWO

Continued from WAVE PARTICLE DUALITY OF LIGHT: SUMMARIZED - PART ONE

THE DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT




This is an experiment that proves the wave particle duality of light. It is a simple experiment that involves passing light rays from a single source through a double slit boundary. A screen is placed after the boundary to detect the light rays coming through. The result gotten are;


1.The Light arrives at the screen light a spot and at random(Particle Property)

2.The Result on the screen gives evidence of interference of the light waves (wave-like property)

From the experiment, it can be seen that light is weird.


From all these you can easily point out that light has an identity problem. Who can be the physics doctor to treat this issue?

Help Light, Love Physics.
