Suppose a two-slit interference experiment is carried out using an electron beam. Would the same interference pattern result if one slit at a time is uncovered instead of both at once? If not, why not? Doesn’t each electron go through one slit or the other? Or does every electron go through both slits? Discuss the latter possibility in light of the principle of complementarity.
