One major difference between Young's double slit interference experiment with light and Jonsson's similar experiment with electrons is that

A. the electrons exhibited an interference pattern only characteristic of particles and the light exhibited an interference pattern only characteristic of waves. B. the light must be at low intensity to produce the interference pattern while the electrons could be propelled onto the slits at very high frequency and still produce the pattern. C.the wavelengths of the electrons were much smaller than that of light and therefore the slits for the electron experiment were much more difficult to produce. D. For the electrons, the slit widths could be larger than for those of photons because of the electrons' larger momenta.
