TED-ED: Particles and waves: The central mystery of quantum mechanics - Chad Orzel

The video explores the concept of wave-particle duality, a fundamental idea in quantum physics. It begins with the introduction of the dual nature of particles and waves, followed by the contributions of Einstein and Planck in understanding light's behavior as both a wave and a particle. The development of atomic models by Rutherford and Bohr is discussed, highlighting the challenges and solutions they encountered. De Broglie's hypothesis on electron wave behavior is introduced, leading to experimental evidence supporting wave-particle duality. The video concludes with the significance of this concept in quantum mechanics.

Explain Bohr's model of the atom and its implications for electron behavior.

What does the wave behavior of electrons imply about their nature?
