Young's interference experiment

Young's interference experiment is any one of a number of optical experiments described or performed at the beginning of the nineteenth century by Thomas Young to demonstrate the wave theory of light. These experiments played a major role in the acceptance of the wave theory of light. One such experiment was the original version of the modern double-slit experiment.
