Which of the following statements are true statements about Thomas Young's experiment? Young's experiment provided evidence that light exhibits particle-like behavior. Young's experiment depends upon the use of white light from two sources. The two sources of light in Young's experiment could be two different light bulbs. For Young's equation to be geometrically valid, the distance from the sources to the screen must be much greater than the slit separation distance. For Young's equation to be geometrically valid, the wavelength of the light must be much greater than the slit separation distance. Thomas Young measured the distance from an antinodal point (of known number) to each of the two sources, computed a path difference and calculated the wavelength of light. Thomas Young was able to determine the wavelength of a light wave.

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
