No, the explanation you provided does not accurately describe the phenomenon observed in the double-slit experiment.
In the double-slit experiment, particles, such as electrons or photons, are typically used. When these particles are sent through two slits and allowed to impact a screen or a detector placed behind the slits, an interference pattern emerges. This pattern consists of alternating bright and dark regions, indicating constructive and destructive interference of the particle waves.
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are not directly involved in the interference pattern formation in the double-slit experiment. The phenomenon primarily relies on the wave-particle duality of the particles themselves. Each particle can exhibit wave-like behavior, and the interference pattern arises due to the superposition and subsequent interference of these particle waves.
When a particle is sent through the double slits, it passes through both slits simultaneously and generates two overlapping wavefronts. These wavefronts interfere with each other, resulting in regions of constructive interference (bright fringes) and regions of destructive interference (dark fringes) on the detector screen. The distribution of the detected particles forms an interference pattern over time.
The explanation you provided seems to mix concepts from electromagnetic wave propagation and particle behavior, and it does not accurately account for the specific characteristics observed in the double-slit experiment. It's important to note that understanding the behavior of particles at the quantum level requires the framework of quantum mechanics, which is a highly successful and mathematically rigorous theory that has been extensively tested and confirmed through experiments.
