Wave-Particle Duality: How Light and Matter Share Two Natures
How can light produce a spreading pattern in one experiment but arrive as separate impacts in another? This puzzle led to the idea of wave-particle duality, in which quantum objects can show wave-like or particle-like behaviour in different experimental contexts. The key question is what scientists mean by “wave” and “particle” when describing the quantum world.
