Is electron really a particle or wave?
Upto the year 1924, electron was exclusively regarded as a particle. However, in 1924, de-Broglie suggested that an electron behaves both as a material particle and as a wave. Just like light, some experimental facts can be explained by assuming electrons as..
Particle Nature of Light
Particle Nature of Light - According to wave theory when light falls on a metal surface, energy is continuously distributed over the surface. All the free electrons receive light energy and when the energy received exceeds that of work function, an ..

Distinction between Wave and Particle
Distinction between Wave and Particle - A particle occupies a well-defined position in space, which cannot be simultaneously occupied by another particle. If there is more than one particle in a given region of space, then their sum is equal to the ..
Distinction between Wave and Particle
A particle occupies a well-defined position in space, which cannot be simultaneously occupied by another particle. If there is more than one particle in a given region of space, then their sum is equal to the number of individual particles. The sum can neith..

Matter Waves
The suggestion that matter may have wave like properties was first put forwarded in 1924-1925 by Louis De Broglie. He argued that if light, which consists of waves according to classical picture, can sometimes behave like particles, then it should be po..
Electromagnetic waves
An electromagnetic wave is a disturbance, which does not require any material medium for its propagation and can travel even through vacuum. They are caused due to varying electric and magnetic fields. Radio waves and light waves are examples for electromag..
Distinction between Electromagnetic Waves and Matter Waves
The important differences between electromagnetic waves and matter waves are given below: Electromagnetic waves Matter waves Electromagnetic are associated with electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of pr..

Better than great. That was the best 45 minutes i have spent on here. We got a lot done and i have a better understanding of the material. Thanks
I uploaded a worksheet and I wanted to follow it with the tutor so I could learn the technical parts. It took just a few minutes to get the understanding of what I needed with the tutor. I even get through all the examples on the sheet in 25 minutes that we were focused on it.
Helped without just giving the answer and was patient. Also got straight to the point. That is what I'm looking for…
The tutors are amazing. They are very committed in helping students solve the questions and explains all the steps beautifully. So 5 stars for Tutor Vista.
