daul nature of matter and tradition

Somrita Bhattacharya 12th Jan, 2020

Hello

In case of light some phenomenon like diffraction and interference can be explained on the basis of its wave character.

However, the certain other phenomenon such as black body radiation and photoelectric effect can be explained only on the basis of its particle nature. Thus, light is said to have a dual character. Such studies on light were made by Einstein in 1905. Louis de Broglie, in 1924 extended the idea of photons to material particles such as electron and he proposed that matter also has a dual character-as wave and as particle.
