Question

Which of the following experimental results for the double slit experiment carried out with electrons is consistent with both wave-like and particle-like behavior?

a. The arrival of each individual electron at the screen is detected by a flash of light localized to a small area of a screen.

b. If one slit is blocked, exactly 50% of the electrons land on the screen and 50% land on the device that blocks one slit for a large number of electrons.

c. If one slit is closed and an observer looks at the screen, she will see the broad intensity versus distance pattern shown as Case 1 in the figure below.

d. Diffraction is seen from a single slit as well as from the double slit.

Explanation / Answer

the answer is A .

option B is not correct as there in no gurantee the source emitting the electrons

has a uniform distribution.

option C and D is not correct as it shows the wave behaviour.
