**Double-Slit Experiment: Understanding Particle Wave Duality****Question**:Which of the following could, in principle, create an interference pattern in a double-slit experiment? (The setups would be different in each case) 1. Electrons being shot one at the time2. Photons being shot one at the time.3. A laser (contains many photons)4. A small molecule (~60 atoms) being shot one at the time5. A big molecule (~800 atoms) being shot one at the time**Options**:- ☐ All of the above- ☐ 1), 2), 3) and 4)- ☐ Only 3)- ☐ 1), 2) and 3)**Submission**:Click the **Submit** button to record your answer, or select **Request Answer** for further assistance.---In the double-slit experiment, different types of particles and waves are used to explore the principle of superposition and wave-particle duality. Below is a detailed explanation of each condition:1. **Electrons being shot one at the time**: Electrons, though particles, exhibit wave-like properties, creating an interference pattern when passing through double slits one at a time.2. **Photons being shot one at the time**: Individual photons also demonstrate their wave nature by creating an interference pattern in a double-slit setup.3. **A laser (contains many photons)**: A coherent source of light, such as a laser, produces an interference pattern due to the constructive and destructive interference of the many photons.4. **A small molecule (~60 atoms) being shot one at the time**: Even relatively small molecules, like those composed of around 60 atoms, can display wave-like behavior and form an interference pattern.5. **A big molecule (~800 atoms) being shot one at the time**: Larger molecules, approximating 800 atoms, under the right conditions, can also produce interference patterns, demonstrating wave-particle duality on a macroscopic scale.Understanding these concepts is integral to the study of quantum mechanics and the fundamental nature of reality.
