Other experiments, such as the [[photoelectric effect]] can only be explained assuming light consists of particles. So along with the [[photoelectric effect]], this experiment demonstrates the [[wave-particle duality]] of light.

The experiment can also be done with particles such as [[electron]]s. When many (perhaps 1000) they are accelerated at two slits, an interference pattern emerges. This shows the wave-like nature of [[matter]]. [[Wave-particle duality]] was proposed in 1924 by Louis De Broglie, as he considered if light can behave as particles, should the reverse be true<ref>http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1929/broglie-bio.html</ref>. The [[wavelength]] of a particle can be found as:
