Wave Nature of Matter

पदार्थ की तरंग प्रकृति

In this Class 12 Physics topic from Chapter 11, Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter, students explore de Broglie’s idea that moving particles can exhibit wave-like behaviour. The topic explains matter waves, de Broglie wavelength, the relation λ = h/p, and how a particle’s momentum affects its wavelength. Students also study electron diffraction and the Davisson–Germer experiment as evidence for the wave nature of matter, strengthening their understanding of wave-particle duality.
