It's the TEM 01 beam structure that allowed the simultaneous measurement of the wave-like interference pattern and the particle-like path through one of the slits.

Basically, waves that pass through two narrow, parallel slits will form an interference pattern on a screen. This is true for all waves, whether they’re light waves, water waves , or sound waves.

The interference pattern produced from a single wavelength of light on the sensor screen is evidence that light is a wave. Thomas Young found this in 1801 when he first carried out his double-slit ...

Diffraction spikes are caused by interference due to the wave nature of light. The patterns produced depend on the shape of the telescope’s mirror and the number of spider struts.

“The wave nature of the photon could be extracted as a visibility of the interference pattern,” explains Tai Hyun Yoon, a physicist at IBS and a co-author of the study. Corroborating theoretical ...

Thomas Juffmann et al. fired molecules composed of over 100 atoms at a barrier with openings designed to minimize molecular interactions, and observed the build-up of an interference pattern.

An international team of scientists now succeeded in shooting a movie which shows the build-up of a matter-wave interference pattern from single dye molecules which is so large (up to 0.1 mm) that ...

A theoretical astrophysicist may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual 'zebra' pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from the Crab Nebula.

When wave pass through each other, they interfere, producing neat effects. Artist Gary Drostle harnesses the interference patterns as light passes through rippling water to create fish pond ...
