de-Broglie Hypothesis (Dual Nature of Matter)

de-Broglie Hypothesis: In 1905, Einstein reported that certain properties like photo-electric effect and black body radiations can be explained by considering the particle aspect of light. On the other hand, certain properties like Reflection, interference and diffraction can be explained by considering the wave aspect of light. Thus light posses dualism or double character. In 1924, Louis de-Broglie put forward his hypothesis that the concept of dualism of light should be extended to all matter particles. Thus according to him “All matter particles in motion possess dualism i.e. particle character as well as wave character”. He introduced his famous equation … Continue reading de-Broglie Hypothesis (Dual Nature of Matter)
