young's experiment
Young's experiment is a classic physics experiment that demonstrates the wave nature of light. It involves a double-slit setup where light passes through two slits and creates an interference pattern on a screen. This interference pattern occurs when the light waves overlap, reinforcing or canceling each other out, depending on their phase. Young's experiment highlights the wave-particle duality of light and is a cornerstone in the study of optics.
