Explain how the de Broglie equation supports the wave-particle duality of electrons.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The de Broglie equation shows that particles like electrons can exhibit wave-like properties by linking their momentum to a wavelength.
- This implies that electrons can behave as both particles and waves, supporting the concept of wave-particle duality.
Explanation
Why this works
This question assesses understanding of the fundamental concept of wave-particle duality in quantum physics. A strong answer clearly connects the de Broglie equation to the behavior of electrons, demonstrating comprehension of the topic.
