Wave Particle Duality Student Notes and Questions

This provides the student notes needed for an understanding of wave particle duality.

The first file gives the evidence for light behaving as a wave and as a particle.
It then introduces the de Broglie wavelength and a matter wave being considered as a probability wave. It then covers the diffraction of electrons and gives the evidence for the particle nature of electrons.
There are some questions on the use of the de Broglie equation with the emphasis on giving the student a feel for the numbers involved.
There is a short section on the electron microscope, explaining how it can resolve more detail than an optical microscope.
Lastly, there is a brief explanation of how de Broglie came up with his equation.

The second file gives the answers to the questions.
