  1. 3.6 Wave Particle duality The dual nature of light: The diffraction of light provides evidence of light being wavelike in nature The photo electric effect provides evidence of light being particle-like in nature The dual nature of matter: The diffraction of an electron beam directed at a thin metal film provides evidence of matter being wavelike in nature ( also electron deflection in electric and magnetic fields) The rows of atoms in the metal crystals behave like light passing through slits

  4. The de Broglie wavelengthλ In 1923 de Broglie hypothesised: * Matter particles have a dual wave-particle nature * The wave like behaviour is characterised by a wavelengthλ λ h = planks constant m = mass v = velocity = h mv λ = h p λ Change the by changing a particle’s speed

  7. Energy levels explained: The de Broglie wavelength of an orbiting electron has to fit the shape and size the electron’s shell. Eg for a circular orbit the circumference = n λ ( a whole number of de Broglie wavelengths)

  9. Quantum technology STM (scanning tunnelling microscope) The wave nature of electrons allows ‘tunnelling’ across a gap between a tip and a metal surface a few nm across.

  10. Quantum technology TEM (transmission electron microscope) Electrons are accelerated to a high speed to produce a very short de Broglie wavelength. Very detailed images can then be resolved MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging) Radio waves are emitted when hydrogen nuclei ( eg in water molecules) change energy sates in a strong magnetic field. SQUID superconducting quantum interference device - magnetic field detector Used to detect very weak magnetic fields from tiny electrical currents inside the brain and for feotal examinations Quantum tunnelling occurs at a thin slice of an insulating barrier placed in a superconducting ring. When more current is induced the barrier becomes resistive and produces a measureable voltage . (Brian Josephson 1962 ) http://www.abdn.ac.uk/physics/case/squids.html
