The double slit experiment is a classic demonstration of the wave-particle duality of quantum objects. This experiment uses particles that exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior, such as electrons or photons.The model creates two parallel slits in a screen, creating a narrow passage for particles to pass through. We then direct a laser towards the slits. Now, if we were to observe these particles individually, one by one, we would expect them to behave like classical particles: they would go through either slit and emerge on the other side.However, when we try to measure which slit each particle passes through, something strange happens. If we shine a light through the system, allowing us to observe the particles as they pass through the slits, we notice that the particles exhibit an interference pattern on the screen behind the slits. The interference pattern shows regions of constructive and destructive interference, which are characteristic of wave behavior. It's as i
