Contribution Description
Title	The Two-Slit Experiment
Simulations	Interferensi Gelombang Kuantum
Keywords	electron interference, quantum mechanics, probability
Description	This is a interactive lecture demonstration that focuses on the conflict between the wave and particle models in physics as brought out by the two-slit experiment. It uses electrons not light because the conflict is more striking with electrons. It is designed to have the students actively involved throughout. It includes links to some real experiments involving electrons and buckminsterfullerene molecules. The student file contains a four-page worksheet to be used during the lecture and finished as home work. The teacher file contains answers and detailed instructions.
