The dual nature of radiation and matter is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics that describes the behavior of particles and waves at the atomic and subatomic level. This principle suggests that all particles, including electrons and photons, exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior.
The concept of wave-particle duality was first introduced by Louis de Broglie in 1924. According to this principle, all particles exhibit wave-like behavior and have a wavelength associated with them. This means that particles can diffract and interfere like waves, producing patterns that are characteristic of waves.
The principle of wave-particle duality suggests that light behaves both as a wave and a particle. Light exhibits wave-like properties, such as interference and diffraction, as well as particle-like properties, such as the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering.
