Select the correct relation between wave and particle nature of radiation?

Correct answer: A. Wave-particle duality

  • A. Wave-particle duality
  • B. Only wave nature
  • C. Only particle nature
  • D. Neither wave nor particle nature

Explanation

According to debroglie , all mater particles in motion have dual nature and thus he derived an equation which is E=hc/λ

About Quantum Theory and Radiation

Quantum theory treats electromagnetic radiation as packets of energy called photons, with energy proportional to frequency through E equals hf. The topic covers Planck's hypothesis, photon momentum, the photoelectric effect, threshold frequency, work function and wave particle duality, distinguishing quantised energy exchange from classical continuous radiation.
