  • 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.

    Wow, thank you for taking the time to make these videos. As someone who regrets not taking proper A-levels (and seeing how much it costs to take them as an adult) this is the perfect in-between for me. I feel sad that, like many school leavers, I never really knew about these fundamental scientific concepts (which affect our everyday life).

    One way to think of wave particle duality of light and matter in the form of electrons is that it is forming a blank canvas for us (atoms) to interact with; we have waves over a period of time and particles as an uncertain future unfolds. The mathematics of quantum mechanics represents the physics of time with classical physics represents processes over a ‘period of time’ as in Newton's differential equations.
    In this theory the mathematics of quantum mechanics represents geometry, the Planck Constant ħ=h/2π is linked to 2π circular geometry representing a two dimensional aspect of 4π spherical three-dimensional geometry. We have to square the wave function Ψ² representing the radius being squared r² because the process is relative to the two-dimensional spherical 4π surface. We then see 4π in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π representing our probabilistic temporal three dimensions life. The charge of the electron e² and the speed of light c² are both squared for the same geometrical reason. We have this concept because the electromagnetic force forms a continuous exchange of energy forming what we experience as time. The spontaneous absorption and emission of light photon ∆E=hf energy is forming potential photon energy into the kinetic energy of electrons. Kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy is the energy of what is actually happening. An uncertain probabilistic future is continuously coming into existence with the exchange of photon energy.

    Could light and matter in the form of electrons be waves over a ‘period of time’ and have particle characteristics relative to the atoms of the Periodic Table when we have the absorption and emission of light?
    Is the exchange of light photon ∆E=hf energy continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of electrons, as an uncertain ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π probabilistic future unfolds?

    hi, good video. My question. Can the equation f = E / h -> f = (m * c ^ 2) / h be applied to the matter, for example 5 kg of stone and calculate the frequency of matter or does not make sense

    • @kingcold9892

      Im sure u already know the answer now😂 but since c is speed of light and only photons/waves travel at this speed, frequency in this equation is only viable for them

    Sorry but how is Diffraction( the spreading of a wave) an example of interference again?

    • @rishiktiwari
      @rishiktiwari 2 года назад +1

      A late reply but its because when the wave-length >> width of slit, it causes bending of light from the edges of the slit. Because wavefronts are spheres they are capable of acting as separate source of light. The waves originating from these new wavefronts move in all direction when exiting the slit and interfere constructively and destructively due to differences in distance between the wavefronts causing wavelets to arrive at a point in different phases and producing fringes on the screen.
      Therefore, diffraction is an example of interference when certain conditions are met. You can checkout the single slit experiment.
