Physics · Matter waves: wave nature of particle, de-Broglie relation
ne / experiment we assume nature of electron as
ne / \( m \) experiment we assume nature of electron as
- A. wave
- B. particle.
- C. photon
- D. both a and b
Step-by-step solution
Electrons exhibit wave-particle duality, meaning they have both wave-like and particle-like properties. This is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, demonstrated in experiments such as the double-slit experiment. Option C (photon) is incorrect because a photon is a quantum of light, not an electron. Therefore, the correct choice is D.
