What can be concluded from the diffraction pattern generated by a single electron fired in the double slit experiment? Electrons can act like macroscopic particles. Electrons are smaller than photons. Pairs of electrons are needed to generate an interference pattern. Single electrons interfere with themselves.

Question
What can be concluded from the diffraction pattern generated by a single
electron fired in the double slit experiment?
Electrons can act like macroscopic particles.
Electrons are smaller than photons.
Pairs of electrons are needed to generate an interference pattern.
O Single electrons interfere with themselves.
Which statement is a consequence of the Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle?
In the double-slit experiment, we can never see the interference
pattern and simultaneously determine which hole the electron
goes through.
Only photons can demonstrate wavelike behavior.
O Electrons obey the laws of classical physics.
O The energy of the electron and its position are precisely defined
quantities.
