This interference pattern was the evidence Young needed to determine that light was a wave and not a particle as Newton had suggested. But that is not the whole story.

By analyzing 18 years of high-frequency laser measurements from the Ekofisk oil platform in the central North Sea, we reached ...

The film demonstrates the use of lasers to capture and reconstruct images through interference patterns, emphasizing the importance of a motionless environment during exposure.

But with monochromatic light, not only did the interference pattern emerge, but it was directly related in an easily calculable way to the wavelength of the light chosen.

The experiment showed that Bohr was definitely correct when he argued for complementarity, and that Einstein had got it wrong ...

This combination of an interference pattern — with alternating regions of constructive (additive) and destructive (subtractive) interference — is a hallmark of wave behavior.

An encounter between two misaligned condensates results in a wave-interference pattern: alternating bright stripes where the two waves enhanced each other and dark stripes where they annihilated ...

He proposed that one could detect such a force while also observing an interference pattern, thereby catching light’s particle and wave nature at the same time.

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 ...
