About this document
Electron Diffraction and Interference Patterns by Abhigyan Hazarika is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Electrons fired through two slits in an apparatus create an interference pattern on photographic film, demonstrating the wave nature of electrons. If one slit is closed or a detector is placed behind a slit, the interference pattern disappears, showing that electrons act as either particles or waves depending on how they are observed in the experiment. Any experiment will reveal either the particle or wave characteristics of electrons but not both at the same time.
