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 possible for..

Introduction - Very often, energy is generated at one place but consumed elsewhere. The transportation of energy from its source to the receiving end can be done in two ways: By actually moving the matter carrying kinetic energy and delivering it to the other en..

Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation - Light has been regarded as waves to explain the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction etc. However in 1905, Albert Einstein suggested that light has a dual character, which means, it can behave as a particle as well as a 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 tiny particles while some oth..

Light has been regarded as waves to explain the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction etc. However in 1905, Albert Einstein suggested that light has a dual character, which means, it can behave as a particle as well as a wave. It was observed that some of the ex..

The wave character of an electron and uncertainty in its position and momentum gave a serious blow to Bohr's model of an atom. According to Bohr, the electrons revolve around the nucleus in certain well-defined circular orbits. But the idea of uncertainty in position and velocity overrule..
