What are the evidence in favour of dual behaviour of electron?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The particle nature of light explains the phenomenon of blackbody radiations and photo electric effect but it couldnot explain about wave nature of light.
Wave nature of light explains the phenomenon of interference and diffraction.
So, light has dual nature i.e it behaves as a wave (or) as a stream of particles.
According to de-Broglie, light has dual behaviour i.e both particle and wave nature. de-Broglies gave the following relationship
`lamda=(h)/(mv)=(h)/(P)" "lamda=` wave length
P= momentum
Heisen berg.s uncertainty principle also a consequence of dual behaviour of matter and radiation.
Statement - It is impossible to determine simultaneously, the exact momentum and exact position of a small particle like lectrọn.
`Deltax xxDeltapge(h)/(4pi)" "Deltax=` uncertainty in position
`Deltap=` uncertainty in momentum
