We explore double and single slit example problems involving light and sound waves. In this Closer Look segment on Diffraction and Interference, we explore double and single slit example problems ...

It is 200 years since Thomas Young performed his famous double-slit experiment but the interference of waves that weave rich tapestries in space and space-time continues to provide deep insights into ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these patterns ...

About time: Romain Tirole from Imperial College London and colleagues have created a temporal version of the famous double-slit experiment (Courtesy: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London) Thomas ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
