Double-slit experiment, artwork C016 / 9866
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 artwork, titled "Double-slit experiment" beautifully captures the essence of one of the most intriguing phenomena in physics. Created by Russell Kightley, this computer-generated print showcases a plane wave passing through a screen with two gaps. As the wave encounters these gaps, they act as new sources, causing the wavefronts to bend and create two sets of circular waves that radiate outwards. The interaction between these newly formed waves gives rise to an extraordinary interference pattern. When wave peaks align or troughs coincide, they reinforce each other in what is known as constructive interference. Conversely, when a peak meets a trough or vice versa, they cancel each other out through destructive interference. This mesmerizing illustration vividly illustrates the complex interplay between particles and waves in quantum mechanics. It highlights key concepts such as diffraction and wave-particle duality while showcasing the intricate patterns that emerge from their interaction. With its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, this artwork serves not only as an aesthetically pleasing piece but also as a visual representation of fundamental principles in physics. Whether you are captivated by scientific wonders or simply appreciate artistry at its finest, this print is sure to ignite curiosity and spark conversations about the mysteries of our physical world.
