Which of the following describes the dual nature of matter proposed by Louis de Broglie?
A. Both particle and wave nature✓ Correct Answer
B. Only corpuscular nature
C. Only electromagnetic wave nature
D. Gravitational-inertial duality
💡 Solution & Explanation
Louis de Broglie proposed the revolutionary concept of wave-particle duality, asserting that particles like electrons exhibit wave properties with an associated wavelength inversely proportional to their momentum. This hypothesis bridged classical particle mechanics with quantum wave mechanics. It was subsequently confirmed experimentally by Davisson and Germer through electron diffraction.
