Explain dual natire of matter or radiation

Open in App
Solution

Dear student

Matter like radiation has Dual behaviour means double behaviour i.e. matter has both particle nature and wave nature.
This means that just as photon has momentum as well as wavelength, electrons should have momentum as well as wavelength.

De broglie from this analogy, gave the following relation between wave length(λ) and momentum (p) of a particle.
λ = h/mv = h/p where m= mass of particle, h= plancks constant
v= velocity , p= momentum
