There are 2 lessons in this physics tutorial covering De Broglie Wave. The tutorial starts with an introduction to De Broglie Wave and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of De Broglie Wave. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.
In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
In previous articles we have seen that a light wave can be thought as a set of microscopic particles in the form of sparks, known as photons. In other words, light waves can be considered as sets of tiny particles. Do you think the reverse can be true as well, i.e. can particles manifest wave properties? Think about this.
If the above assumption is true (i.e. particles can behave as waves), why we are not able to notice this?
Do you think it is 100% sure that an electron will strike a given point of a screen when emitted from a source? Recall the analogy with a gun; is it granted that a bullet will hit the target or maybe it may miss it?
This tutorial is dedicated to the particle-wave analogy. We will close the circle of particle-wave dualism by proving that not only EM waves manifest particle nature but all particles present a wave behavior as well, as postulated by Lois De Broglie about one century ago.
