  1. Double-Slit Experiment

    Let's look at the double-slit experiment, which sends light or electrons through two narrow slits.

  2. Stripes of Light

    Shine light through two narrow slits, and bright and dark stripes line up on the screen.

  3. Spreading Waves Overlap

    It forms when waves from the two slits interfere, which is a property of waves.

  4. Electrons One at a Time

    Fire electrons one at a time, and each one hits a single spot on the screen, like a particle.

  5. When Many Pile Up

    But as more and more pile up, interference stripes appear, just like with light.

  6. Checking Which Slit

    If you check which slit it took, the stripes vanish, leaving two bands.

  7. Wave-Particle Duality

    Electrons hit like particles but interfere like waves. Having both of these natures is called wave-particle duality.

  8. Both a Wave and a Particle

    Electrons have the properties of both waves and particles.

Create 3D explainer videos like this sample from your documents and chat

Just attach product documents, drawings, or CAD data and tell the AI in chat what video you want. The AI plans the storyboard, builds the 3D scenes, and turns it into a video with narration and captions. You pay only for what you use (a rough guide is about 3,500 credits for a 1-minute video with 2 small revisions).
