MCQ
Which experiment seemed to make it clear that light propogates as a wave?
- AMilikan's oil drop experiment
- BThe Michelson-Morley experiment
- CYoung's double-slit experiment
- DLenz's proof of Lenz's law
✓
Answer
- Young's double-slit experiment
Explanation:
Young's double slit experiment
The double slit experiment is a demonstration that light and matter can display characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles. Moreover it displays the fundamentally probabislistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena.
