Thanks! Technical indeed. It does seem, though, that we can get a multi-band interference pattern from just two waves interacting. Thanks again.

Thanks, Dr. Chinese! I'm glad to have discovered the forum. My question was a little unclear. I should have asked, Why don't we get the pattern that I describe, specifically when we shoot only one electron at a time through the two slits? What is puzzling me is that the multiple bands of...

In the two-slit experiment, as I understand it, an interference pattern can be generated by sending many electrons (or photons) through the two slits one at a time, and the pattern itself gets built up over time. The explanation is usually this: A single electron travels as a wave and so...
