Dual Nature of Matter
The whole energy in this universe is in the
form of matter and electromagnetic energy. Radiation behave as both as wave and
particle. Radiation wave nature is describes by interference, diffraction, polarization
etc .Radiation particle character is described by photoelectric effect, Compton
effect etc. the nature loves symmetry. As the radiation got dual nature, matter
should also posses dual nature.
Thus a wave is associated with energy moving particle. These waves are called
de Broglie waves or matter waves. Electron has particle nature. But Davisson
and Germer experiment proved the wave nature of electron also.
