Recreating the double-slit experiment that proved the wave nature of light in time, instead of space
Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space.
The experiment relies on materials that can change their optical properties in fractions of a second, which could be used in new technologies or to explore fundamental questions in physics.

QI.
Are there examples of similar interference in time in other wave systems such as sound waves?

I’m not aware of any but I suppose the wave nature of sound wasn’t controversial.
BTW “Imperial physicists” sounds ominous.

This created colors of light that interfere with each other, enhancing and canceling out certain colors to produce an interference-type pattern.

Double-slit experiment.. always mind-blowing.. now in colour
Excellent
