What is the primary purpose of Young's Double Slit Experiment?

• To measure the speed of light

• To demonstrate the wave nature of light

• To prove light is a particle

• To create a new type of laser

What was Sir Isaac Newton's belief about the nature of light?

• Light is a form of energy

• Light behaves like a particle

• Light is a combination of waves and particles

• Light behaves like a wave

What pattern is expected if light behaves like a wave in the double slit experiment?

• Two overlapping single slit patterns

• A single bright spot

• Interference pattern with alternating bright and dark bands

• No pattern at all

Why can't a flashlight produce an interference pattern in the double slit experiment?

• It is too dim

• It is not monochromatic

• It lacks spatial coherence

• It is too bright

How did Thomas Young manage to observe interference patterns without lasers?

• By using a magnifying glass

• By using a mirror

• By using a pinhole and a shuttered window

• By using a prism

What is one method to create a double pinhole system at home?

• Using a mirror and lens

• Using a flashlight and paper

• Using a magnifying glass

• Using a piece of pipe and cardboard

What should you avoid observing with the homemade double pinhole system?

• Street lights

• Car headlights

• The moon

• Laser light or the sun

What does the wave-particle duality of light suggest?

• Light is neither a wave nor a particle

• Light is only a particle

• Light is only a wave

• Light can behave as both a wave and a particle

What happens when the double slit experiment is conducted with single photons?

• A single bright spot is observed

• An interference pattern gradually builds up

• A particle pattern is observed

• No pattern is observed

Which experiment demonstrated double slit interference with single electrons?

• A 1973 experiment

• A 1985 experiment

• A 2000 experiment

• A 1909 experiment
