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

Light & matter can exhibit both wave & particle properties

Diffraction and interference

Photoelectric effect (light acts as photons)

Concentric rings

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

$6.63 \times 10^{-34}$ Js

Mass of the particle

Velocity of the particle

Shorter wavelength, less diffraction

Longer wavelength, more diffraction
