Wave-Particle Duality: Where Light Breaks Limits
Understanding Wave-Particle Duality: The Dual Nature of Light a. Historical perspective revealed light’s dual identity through groundbreaking experiments. The double-slit experiment demonstrated wave-like interference patterns—light bending and overlapping—while the photoelectric effect exposed photon emission: discrete packets of energy ejecting electrons from metal. These results shattered the classical view of light as purely a wave or …
