Waves carry energy, particles carry energy. Cathal said: Consider the quantum double slit experiment. If the there is no duality then how can the light pass through one slit and also interfere with itself on the opposite side creating the interference pattern? If you shot 20,000 photons at...

What you need to know about waves We use the term "wave" to refer to a quantity which changes with time. Waves in which the changes occur in a repeating or periodic manner are of special importance and are widespread in nature; think of the motions of the ocean surface, the pressure va...
From September 24 through 30, 1992 the Workshop on "Waves and Parti cles in Light and Matter" was held in the Italian city of Trani in celebration of the centenary of Louis de Broglie's birth. As is well known, the relationship between quantum theory and ob jective reality was ...
Now, here, we will see that electron can be further divided into sub particles, which constitute the mass of the light particles, which when ejected from the bind of atomic nucleus gets propagated through the space in the path of waves. Here we combined the two thoughts of light into one...
Light as Waves - Thinking of light as waves is one way to make sense of the phenomenon. Learn about light as waves.
Resonances in partial wave scattering amplitudes an and bn are responsible for the ripple structure of the extinction curve and for sharp peaks in the backscattering (glory). A connection between the resonances and surface waves is suggested.

Light can be thought of either as a stream of particles called photons or as a succession of waves. Laser light can be viewed as a flow of photons moving in the same direction, all having the same energy and therefore the same “color.” These are also waves of one frequency. When the...
