What Is The Wave-Particle Duality?
The wave-particle duality is one of those essential pillars. Physics courses devote weeks to just introducing it – but there ...

Is light a particle or a wave?
Does light behave more like a particle, or like a wave? Today we know the surprising answer. Here's why it took so long to ...
New research confirms that a photon's wave and particle nature can't be fully observed simultaneously due to entropic ...
The double-slit experiment, termed “the quantum experiment that broke reality,” demonstrates the paradoxical wave-particle ...
That light can be both particles and waves is one of the most illogical – but at the same time fundamental – characteristics of quantum mechanics. This is called wave-particle duality. The theory ...
French physicist Louis de Broglie's pilot wave theory proposed that quantum particles are directed by a guiding wave.
In classical optics, for instance, a brighter light has more energy, and a greater amplitude of its electromagnetic wave. But, when it comes to ejecting an electron from a material via the ...
Researchers have defined the precise shape of a single photon, a huge leap forward in quantum physics and material science.
Photoemission is a process during which electrons are ejected from a metal surface when exposed to electromagnetic radiation, (eg ultraviolet). If a clean, positively charged zinc plate is exposed ...
