Wave-Particle Duality and Heisenberg's Principle
Students will investigate the wave nature of matter (de Broglie) and the uncertainty principle.
Key Questions
- Explain how de Broglie's hypothesis extended wave-particle duality to matter.
- Analyze the implications of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle for precisely locating an electron.
- Justify why macroscopic objects do not exhibit observable wave-like properties.
