Question

electrons are directed one at a time at two slits. beyond the slits is a sscreen that shows an interference pattern on it after a sufficient number of electrons have passed through the two slits in order for this to happen:

electron must diffract as it passes threough either one of the slits
electron must somehow pass through slits and then interference with itself
electron must interfere with other electrons
electron must have strictly particle like properties
electron must have spin

from sample exam*

Explanation / Answer

electron must somehow pass through slits and then interference with itself
