Light, nature double-slit experiment

Still, the interference patterns from the double slit experiment clearly indicated that light was a wave. How could Einstein reconcile his conclusions about the particle nature of light with the results of the double slit experiment Was it possible that light could act as either particle or wave ... [Pg.17]

Young, Thomas (1773-1829) was an English physician physicist. He could read fluently by age two and presented his first paper to the Royal Society at the young age of 20. By 1801 he was a professor at the Royal Institution in London. He was probably best known for his classic double slit experiment, which demonstrated the wave nature of light. [Pg.306]

In 1801, Thomas Young performed his famous double slit experiment, finally proving the wavelike nature of light A diagram of this experiment is shown in Figure 3.2. A beam of monochromatic light (such as that from a LASER beam) is passed through... [Pg.42]
