THE DOUBLE-SLIT EXPERIMENT [PHYSICS]
Hey steemians, Do you like physics wonderful experiment that i just found on internet.
The physics equations you learned in school don't work on the atomic scale. We have Newtonian physics to explain the world we can see and feel, and we have Einsteinian physics to explain the behavior of matter and light in the universe, but we observe a bunch of bizarre phenomena on the atomic scale that we can't explain fully yet with equations and mathematical laws.
Perhaps the two most perplexing behaviors of atomic particles are quantum superposition (particles can exist in two separate places simultaneously) and quantum entanglement (particles separated by large distances can react to one another instantaneously, suggesting information can travel faster than the speed of light, although there are other explanations for this phenomenon as well).
The experiment that started physicists down the path to discovering the wonderfully spooky behaviors of atomic particles is called the double-slit experiment. We know that light travels in waves, and when those waves pass through two parallel slits, a single wave gets separated into two waves that run into each other. PBS's Space Time series has a great new video explaining the double-slit experiment.
here i got you the link to you can keep reading and watch the experiment.

Furtheremore i have to add that this experiment lead the physicists to create Quantum mechanics which is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics)
