The ELECTRON: Wave – Particle Duality
The Dilemma of the Atom
Wave-Particle Duality
The Wave-like Electron
Electromagnetic radiation propagates through space as a wave moving at the speed of light.
The energy (E ) of electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to the frequency () of the radiation.
