In the double-slit experiment, light particle is also called photon. Does the photons go through the slits in the double-slit experiment?
What happens if you reduce the light to one photon and direct it at the duble-slit ?
How are double-slits related to holograms?
Homework Answers
Yes, the photon goes through the slits in the experiment. If you reduce the light to one photon, you can never tell which slit the photon has gone through. So much so, that if you observe the phenomenon using observation instruments, the outcome will change. Photons have dual nature namely of matter and of a wave. The double slit interference pattern highlights the wave nature of light. Hava a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiAj7S6ko9Q
photon passes through one slit(as would a classical particle)and not through both slits (as would a wave)

In a Young's double-slit experiment, 586 -nm-wavelength light is sent through the slits
In a Young's double-slit experiment, 586 -nm-wavelength light is sent through the slits. A screen is held at a distance of 1.50 m from the slits. The second-order maxima appear at an angle of 2.50° from the central bright fringe. How far apart do the first-order (m=1) and second-order (m=2) maximum appear on the screen?
