While each particle shows up at the detector individually, the population as a whole creates an interference pattern as though they are waves. Neither a pure wave nor a pure particle description ...

This interference pattern identifies the photon as a wave since a particle would create only one point of light on the screen. However, if detectors are placed at the openings to determine which slit ...

Typically, the particle nature and the wave nature have to be observed separately; if you track the particles through a single slit, the interference pattern vanishes. However, Ralf Menzel ...

Wave-particle duality is one of the strangest ... and destructively (leading to dark spots). This interference is uniquely a product of waves, and so this "proved" that light was a wave.

But that’s not what happens. Instead, you see many bands of light and dark, strung out in stripes like a barcode: an interference pattern (see ‘Wave–particle weirdness’). Interference is ...

This interference pattern was the evidence Young needed to determine that light was a wave and not a particle as Newton had suggested. But that is not the whole story. Light is a little more ...

It is possible only with wavelike interference. Other researchers have measured wave-particle duality for larger molecules. But they have used techniques that would tear apart the delicate ...

"But we have interference, and we see light everywhere ... "It is always both a wave and a particle. It's just that we ...

The gaps between the stripes are the result of destructive interference ... is light a wave that sometimes looks like a particle, or a particle that sometimes looks like a wave?
