Double-slit experiment, artwork C016 / 9865
Double-slit experiment Computer artwork showing a plane wave (top left) passing through a screen with two gaps. The gaps act as new wave sources and the wavefronts bend to create two sets of circular waves radiating outwards. These two new waves create an interference pattern as they interact. At the point where a wave peak from one hits a wave peak from another, or a trough hits a trough, they reinforce each other; their magnitudes are summed. This is known as constructive interference. Where a trough hits a peak or vice versa and they cancel each other out. This is known as destructive interference

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Double-slit experiment, artwork C016 / 9865" beautifully captures the essence of quantum mechanics and wave-particle duality. Created by Russell Kightley for Science Photo Library, this computer artwork showcases a plane wave passing through a screen with two gaps. As the plane wave encounters these gaps, they act as new sources of waves, causing the original wavefronts to bend and create two sets of circular waves radiating outward. The interaction between these two new waves gives rise to an intriguing interference pattern. When peaks align with peaks or troughs align with troughs, constructive interference occurs - their magnitudes combine and reinforce each other. Conversely, when a peak meets a trough or vice versa, destructive interference takes place - canceling out each other's effects. This mesmerizing interplay between constructive and destructive interference results in an intricate pattern that is both visually stunning and scientifically significant. The image also highlights concepts such as diffraction, wavelength, amplitude, frequency - all fundamental aspects of physics. It serves as a reminder that even at the smallest scales within our universe, particles behave both as discrete entities and as waves simultaneously. Through this thought-provoking artwork depicting parallel slits and their profound impact on wave behavior in quantum mechanics experiments like the double-slit experiment; we are reminded of how intricately intertwined our physical world truly is.
