Note: One might imagine that by binding a bright spot on a detector screen, marking that location, moving the detector screen in or out and marking the position of the same maximumum, one could then connect the two points and derive a line that would point back to the slit that had emitted the protons landing at the bright spot in question. However, as this diagram shows. the line would not point to a slit, but (when combined with a point equally removed from the center of the interference pattern) to a point behind the screen where the double slits are.

Description |
A vectorized version of a sketch made by Thomas Young to illustrate the two-slit diffraction of light. Narrow slits at A and B act as sources, and waves interfering in various phases are shown at C, D, E, and F. Young presented the results of this experiment to the Royal Society in 1803.
