Particles will either pass through one slit or the other, creating two distinct clusters on the screen behind.
Summary edit
| Description |
English: A beam of individual electrons (or other quantum particles) is fired one after another at a barrier containing two narrow slits. On the other side of the slits, a sensitive detector registers where an electron struck.
If electrons behave like particles---imagine tiny billiard balls---you would expect to see a pattern of two clusters at the detector, with one cluster behind each slit. |
