A groundbreaking achievement by physicists from Imperial College London has brought new insights into quantum physics by ...

For example, the wavefunction can interfere with itself, as demonstrated in the double-slit experiment. A wavefunction that passes through two narrow slits, recombining on the other side ...

In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of ...

Interference can arise with one source of waves where the waves travel different distances before meeting. The difference in the distance travelled (the path difference) must be a full number of ...

If the brightness of light in a double slit experiment is increased what happens to the fringe spacing (distance between two consecutive maxima or minima)?
