The two-slit (diffraction experiment shows how light can be treated as particles

Question

The two-slit (diffraction experiment shows how light can be treated as particles and how light waves carry the statistical information for the experiment If we were to use a beam of electrons instead of light in the experiment, how would the results differ? There would be a attraction pattern similar to. but different from, that using light There would only be a single spot from the of electron team There would be no change There would be no diffraction pattern If electrons were used in the two-slit experiment Instead of light, what change would need to be made to the slit spacing in order to see a diffraction pattern? The slit spacing has to increase The slit spacing has to decrease Electrons cannot diffract No change

Explanation / Answer

Part A. If beam of electrons are used instead of light in the experiment,

There would be a diffraction pattern similar to, but different from, that using light

Part B. If electrons were used instead of light in the experiment, the changes to slit spacing would be,

The slit spacing has to decrease
