Wave-Particle Duality
Electrons were once viewed solely as particles until the revolutionary idea emerged that they could also behave as waves. This concept, proposed by De Broglie, laid the groundwork for quantum mechanics and was later substantiated by experiments like the double slit experiment, which demonstrated the wave-like behavior of electrons through diffraction and interference. Understanding these phenomena is crucial for grasping the complexities of quantum theory.In this clip
