Wave-particle duality is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that describes the dual nature of particles, such as electrons and photons. It suggests that these particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the experimental conditions.
In the classical view of physics, particles were thought to behave solely as discrete, localized entities with distinct positions and trajectories. On the other hand, waves were described as continuous, spread-out phenomena characterized by properties like frequency, wavelength, and interference patterns.
However, in the early 20th century, scientists like Albert Einstein and Max Planck proposed that light, prev....
