I'm only trying to simulate the phenomenon with povray even if I'm faking
it.

The followng web site shows the photos of real electrons interference.
http://www.src.wits.ac.za/pages/teaching/Connell/phys284/2005/lecture-02/lecture_02/node3.html

while the following web site simulates electrons interference (using java
applet) http://www.ianford.com/dslit/

I'd like to know if it is possible to simulate such patterns of interference
with povray using the random keyword and some probability rules.
