| Jan 23, 2015 at 3:33 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten | @paisanco is on the right road, of course, but as a practical matter it is done using multiple-slit devices (i.e. diffraction gratings). | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 2:57 | comment | added | paisanco | I'd probably start by asking if you know of single slit diffraction and if so whether you find that convincing evidence that wavelength is measurable, or need more evidence. It's a little unclear specifically what evidence you're looking for. | |
