Light Interference T-Shirts

The first double-slit experiment was conducted by Thomas Young, in early 1800 to show light is a wave. But the interference pattern collapses once the detector was placed in both of the slits to detect the light pathway. This gives birth to the particle-wave dualism of light.

skull and data

this is a photon interference experiment

Double slit experiment. Light from a light bulb (left) is shone towards a plate (centre) containing two slits. The light that passes through the slits is observed on a screen behind the plate. This experiment shows that light exhibits the characteristics of both a wave and a particle, a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality. Each photon of light travels through one of the slits, as would be expected of a particle, but light from the two slits interfere, as expected of a wave.

A soap bubble from up close looks like a small planet from another world. The vivid colours arise from interference of light reflecting off the front and back surfaces of the thin soap film. Depending on the thickness of the film, different colours interfere constructively and destructively.
