Particle-wave duality What is this? Young’s “double-slit” experiment Interference: Light consists of WAWES

If light consisted of particles…

Light interference Path difference: Intensity maxima: Intensity minima:

Now perform the same experiment with electrons Experiment by A. Tonomura of Hitachi Corp., June 1999

Electrons: particles or waves?

What can we conclude about the electron from Tonomura experiment? Electrons appear to have both particle-like and wave-like properties!
