Question 16 • Physics

Which describes the results of the double slit experiment? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
Beams of light separated as they passed through a prism.
B
Results supported the particle theory of light.
C
Results supported the wave theory of light.
D
Results demonstrated the relationship between electric and magnetic fields.
E
Waves produced a diffraction pattern.

Explanation

In the double-slit experiment, light passing through both slits produces bright and dark bands where the waves reinforce or cancel one another. This diffraction and interference pattern supports the wave theory of light, so “Results supported the wave theory of light” and “Waves produced a diffraction pattern” are correct. The experiment does not show light separating through a prism or demonstrate the relationship between electric and magnetic fields.
