Description

When do photons; electrons; and atoms behave like particles and when do they behave like waves? Watch waves spread out and interfere as they pass through a double slit; then get detected on a screen as tiny dots. Use quantum detectors to explore how measurements change the waves and the patterns they produce on the screen. To download the companion Teacher's Guide click here.
