How does Young's double-slit experiment support the wave theory of light?.
- A.By showing light can be absorbed
- B.By demonstrating light can be polarized
- C.By producing an interference pattern
- D.By reflecting light off surfaces
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- By producing an interference pattern
