wave-particle duality Flashcards
1
Q
what is wave-particle duality?
A
the ability of a particle being able to act as a wave.
2
Q
electron wave diffraction and atomic spacing.
A
if the moving electron shows signs of diffraction through the thin material, then the space between the atoms is approximately the size of its wavelength.
3
Q
Evidence of particle properties
A
in diffraction, the electron is attracted by the electric fields.
