When very dim light is shone at a pair of closely spaced slits, the pattern shown below develops. Initially, the dots of light appear random, but as they accumulate, a pattern emerges. Figure 11.1: (a) What does this tell us about the nature of light? How does this experiment support the idea that light is both a wave and a particle? How does this experiment falsify the idea that light is only a wave? Or only a particle? (b) If you were to set up a detector that measured which slit each photon went through, what would happen to the pattern and why?
