I really love any instructional that deals with the dual/single slit experiment, and this one (which caries on from his last video) is no exception.
Here we see an example again of the 1801 Thomas Young experiment, which passed a single photon against a dual slit plate. It wasn't until the early 1900s that light energy is not as evenly spread as one would expect in a wave. It acted more like "packets" of energy, hence the Photon.

Double Slit Experiment: easily reproducable
I know....one of my favorite hobby horses this one. But I truly love experiments that screw with our perception of our environment. One of the fundamental ones deals with our perception of frequencies in the visible light band.
The famous dual slit experiment which showed that light was a wave was first put forth by Thomas Young in the early 1800. In this video, we are shown that complicated machinery to demonstrate the phenom.
Check out the video.
