What is Wave Particle Duality?

This video looks at the history of ideas behind the concept of wave particle duality, with a particular focus on the work of Louis de Broglie and the matter-wave hypothesis. After discussing the groundbreaking experimental work of Thomas Young and the concept of wave interference, a brief discussion is given to Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect. This provides a launch point for a discussion of de Broglie's matter-wave hypothesis, and includes a detailed analysis of Bohr's model of the atom, as well as the interpretation of the de Broglie wave function using the famous double slit experiment.

    YES! Finally someone who uses parenthesis! So many people leave them out. As a mathematician, I love that you used parenthesis when you wrote trig. Even text books annoyingly will write sina+b. Is this: 1. sin(a)+b or 2. sin(a+b) Which is it? Plus, trig (and logs) are functions. As such, they should have functional parenthesis as found in f(x).

    Quantum Light (h) is a dualistic quantum particle that in the cosmic vacuum can fly at a constant speed (c=1). In this movement, light uses its linear spin and it does not produce electromagnetic waves. Light behaves like a corpuscular. But light can behave like a wave if it uses its angular rotation (the torque required to accelerate angularly around the axis of rotation). In this situation, the speed of the light is faster than the constant. The speed is c>1. This situation is explained by Lorentz transformations. The problem is that we do not know the geometric shape of the light quantum.

Every bit of matter and radiation in the universe follows the laws of quantum mechanics. There is a near endless amount of variety in those phenomena. What you will never see are particles (I hope you know what a particle is in physics) and waves.

The only difference is that he didn't hold his promise to continue with the series, where the next topic would have been on the Schrödinger wave function. I have great hopes that you do

    A beautifully presented video. I loved this. ❤️ Your way of blending history and science with neat derivations wherever appropriate makes this truly a gem of a video. In my head, I could see jigsaw pieces neatly falling into place. The idea that the interpretation of the debroglie wavelength lead to the introduction of quantum mechanics blew me away; an absolute "aha" moment!! 🤩 I'm so thrilled that I finally understand what's the motivation behind the introduction of the wavefunction! Thank you so much for this brilliant video. 🥰 Please do keep making more of these. 😊🤝

    This is truly a stupendous explanation, the best I’ve ever come across yet. No other presentation made it so clear that the crux of the probabilistic (Born) interpretation of the electron’s wave function originates in the relationship between the intensity of (any) wave and the square of its amplitude. If one doesn’t know that (from classical physics) the whole thing remains somewhat mysterious. That “analogy” was the theoretical leap in De Broglie’s mind that really needed highlighting, and you do just that. No wonder that Einstein himself was awed by De Broglie’s insight. It was then a matter of dotting the i’s and crossing thet’s for Max Born to add, almost as a post-scriptum: Oh and by the way the square of the amplitude of the quantum wavefunction Psi represents the probability of finding the particle if we look for it. Thanks for this very pedagogical and enlightening exposition. All teachers of physics and the students they teach will be able to benefit from it.

    I am about to complete my master's, I must say your videos are an easy way for me to revise the essential history of physics. I always love how you mention all the steps and leave nothing to the readers. If you were to become a physicist(if you aren't yet) you will be a really good one. I wish to talk to you, can I personally talk to you?

    Brilliant work, I have followed many of your videos and having a srong knowledge in electromagnetics, Maxwell, Stokes, Poisson divergence, gradient, vector potential et al, I could understand 100% of your expose on Schrodinger and Heisenberg equations. Remarkable way of leading the explanation you never loose sight of the relevant points although there are plenty of details. Thank you for your great work!!

    Hi, your videos are great! I'm always looking forward to more. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to get people interested in physics to know about your channel? I noticed your channel is fairly new, but you managed to get good viewership quickly. I just started a physics channel too, but I don't really know how to get people who might be interested to know about it. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

    I feel like when QM is taught nowadays there's nowhere near enough emphasis given to how we came up with it in the first place. Not by saying "this guy studied that other guy's notes and they all magically had the answer" but by presenting the whole series of discoveries since we've started looking, step by step, just like this video does

    That's science history and not science. What that does for you is to reinforce mistakes of other people that were caused by a lack of evidence at that time in your mind. Not a good way of learning actual physics. You can only learn physics properly by starting with the latest set of evidence and then you don't have to go down some of the rabbit holes of the past.
