When a beam of electrons is directed at a suitably narrow pair of slits, a)one bright region with intensity decreasing exponentially on each side is observed at a screen behind the double slit. b)alternating areas of bright intensity and low intensity are observed behind the double slit. c)all the electrons pass through one slit and a single, sharply defined region of bright intensity is observed. b)two areas of bright, sharply defined intensity are observed, one behind each slit.
