Wave-Particle Duality

1. Introduction to Dual Nature of Light

  1. Light exhibits both wave and particle properties, known as the dual nature of light.
  2. Wave nature: Demonstrated by interference and diffraction.
  3. Particle nature: Demonstrated by the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering.
  4. First proposed in quantum theory by Max Planck and Albert Einstein.
