A
1800 showed that light has interference patterns going through slits showing it is a wave
2
Q
Heinrich Hertz
A
1870’s discovered frequency, not intensity, affect how much electrons are popped from atoms, which is not wave behavior.
3
Q
Geoffrey Ingram Taylor
A

4
Q

A
calculates the probability of finding an electron in a given space
5
