I've just added a bunch of animations that illustrate the ever enigmatic double-slit experiment. The first is in 3D, the second is an orthographic 3D (effectively 2D)
4K UHD animation of the principle of Thomas Young's classic double-slit experiment. Waves hit a screen with two gaps. The gaps act as new wave sources, creating two sets of circular waves radiating outwards. These two new waves create an interference pattern as they superimpose on each other. The waves sum together producing higher peaks and deeper troughs at some points (constructive interference), whilst cancelling each other out at other points (destructive interference).
You can licence them from my Scientific.Pictures site.
