My textbook is very unclear on why the dual particle wave in electrons was discovered by the Thomson experiment. I don't understand why they first show me the Thomson experiment for the proof of this phenomenon and then state that the double slit experiment actually confirmed the theory. Also I don't understand how the Thomson experiment even works, I just know that the electrons are send to a little Sheed of gold which follows by some the electrons going through the Sheed and forming a interference pattern. However I do not understand why the electrons do this since there is no slit. I appreciate the help!
