Electrrons Test Flashcards
Problem with Rutherford’s model
in 1906 Einstein proposed that electromagnetic radiation behaves like both a wave and a particle and called this particles: protons
New thought about electrons: if light could be both particle and wave…then we should think about the electron as a particle
Define light and electron based on Einsteins work
Light: particle and wave
Electron: both particle and energy
