Wave-particle duality
Explore how light can be modeled both as a wave and as discrete particles called photons. Discover how matter particles can demonstrate wave properties, as shown by variations of Young’s double-slit experiment. Learn how the wave model of matter is quantified by the de Broglie wavelength, which increases as the momentum of a particle decreases.
