Wave-particle duality (AQA A-Level Physics): Flashcards

Particles show wave-like & particle-like properties

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$

Planck's constant

Inversely proportional

$p = \frac{h}{\lambda}$

Electrons forming diffraction patterns, showing wave behavior

Concentric rings

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = eV$

$\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}}$

Wavelength decreases
