Which phenomenon best supports the theory that matter has a wave nature?
electron diffraction
Is sound wave electron?
no.
When a wave breaks it changes from being a wave of oscillation to being a wave of?
Nature
What confirms the wave nature of particles?
Diffraction, Interference etc are the phenomenon which confirm the wave nature of light.!
What is the nature of sound wave in air?
Longitudinal in nature.
Which phenomenon best supports the theory that matter has a wave nature?
electron diffraction
Who proposed the dual wave-particle nature of the electron?
Einstein not only had nothing to do with suggesting a wave nature of electrons, he was VERY vocal in his lifelong opposition to the concept of electron waves being fundamental to their existence. He agreed they SEEMED to exhibit wave-like characteristics, he simply thought a more fundamental explanation would show this was simply an "approximation" to reality. Louis de Broglie, in his 1924 thesis, first proposed the idea that electrons had a wave nature, with a wavelength dependent on a particle's momenutum. Experiments in 1927 showed that he was correct.
Do electrons have a particle nature or awave nature?
Yes, in the form of a probability wave. It's important to realize that the wave behavior of electrons in atoms isn't analogous to, say, a wave in the ocean. An electron's wave behavior is one of probability, there's no macroscopic equivalent. The probability of finding an electron at a certain location oscillates like a wave, not the electron itself.
Is sound wave electron?
no.
Which scientist was able to determine the electronic structure of the atom using an equation known as the quantum model that included the wave nature of the electron?
Erwin Schrodinger
Who explained the wave nature and the particle nature of an electron?
That their was a unit of charge, for which no smaller amount of charge could exist, was first suggested in the late 1800s. In 1896, J.J. Thomson showed that a negatively charged particle was a fundamental particle of nature -- ie, that electrons had a particle nature. Louis de Broglie, in his 1924 thesis, suggested that electrons also had a wave nature, with a wavelength dependent on a particle's momentum. Experiments in 1927 showed that he was correct.
How davisson and germer experiment confirms the wave nature of electron?
by observing the dark fringe due to absence of electrons and by observing bright fringe due to excess of electrons.
Is an electron a standing wave?
No -- an electron is a point particle with mass, charge, and spin. The probability that you will find an electron at a specific point can, however, often be calculated by wave functions. Any moving mass can be considered either a particle or a wave. Its properties can be defined via the deBorlie wave equation.
Shapes of electron orbital are determined by what equations?
Schrodinger wave equation
Why is electron said to execute standing wave motion while moving in an orbit?
The electron itself isn't a wave, it's the probability of finding it in a certain spot that's governed by a wave equation.
Write three dimensional Schrodinger wave equation for an electron. what is the physical significance of its wave funtion2?
The Wave function (psi) is just used as an identifier that the particle exhibits wave nature. Actually the square of the wave fn (psi2 ) - the probability amplitude- is the real significant parameter. The probability amplitude gives the maximum probability of observing the particle in a given region in space.
When a wave breaks it changes from being a wave of oscillation to being a wave of?
Nature
