    Young's Double-Slit Experiment
    The demonstration of light interference provided critical evidence supporting the wave model. In his experiments, Young used a single light source passed through a small hole, which then illuminated a screen containing two closely spaced parallel slits. The resulting pattern on the screen consisted of alternating bright and dark bands—interference fringes.
    The mathematical description of the fringe spacing ($s$) is given by:
