This video introduces and explains both the de Broglie wavelength and wave particle duality for A Level Physics.
If waves can sometimes exhibit particle like properties, does that mean that electrons that we have always through of as particles also behave as waves? What about other particles? What about you? This video shows the next (logical) steps in the work of scientists from the early part of the twentieth century.
We can calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron or any other particle for that matter.
