This interactive simulation models the classic double slit experiment, demonstrating the fundamental quantum concept of wave-particle duality. Learners can adjust slit separation, wavelength, and observation mode to observe how particles behave differently when measured versus unobserved, revealing interference patterns and the collapse of quantum superposition.
Learning objectives: Understand how particles exhibit wave-like interference patterns when unobserved | Investigate the role of measurement in quantum mechanics and wave-particle behaviour | Explore variables affecting diffraction and interference in double slit scenarios
