What is the significance of de Broglie's hypothesis in wave-particle duality?.

  1. A.It states that all particles have wave properties.
  2. B.It only applies to electrons.
  3. C.It suggests that only light exhibits wave-particle duality.
  4. D.It has no relevance to modern physics.

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • It states that all particles have wave properties.

Explanation

Why this works

De Broglie's hypothesis extends the concept of wave-particle duality to all matter, suggesting that particles like electrons also exhibit wave-like behavior, which is crucial for understanding quantum mechanics.
