According to the cartoon video on physics, electrons sent through 2 slits at once without measuring what slit is goes through, will produce what?
A) An interference pattern
B) A single line
C) 4 lines
D) A blank screen

the two slit experiment is key to understand the microscopic world. The wave-like properties of light were demonstrated by the famous experiment first performed by Thomas Young in the early nineteenth century. In original experiment, a point source of light illuminates two narrow adjacent slits in a screen, and the image of the light that passes through the slits is observed on a second screen.

Key Points

waves can interfere, for light this will make a series of light and dark bands

matter particles, such as electrons, also produce interference patterns due to their wave-like nature

so with a high flux of either photons or electrons, the characteristic interference pattern is visible
