Wave Particle Duality of Light: Exploring Its Properties and Phenomena

The video explores the dual nature of light, explaining how it behaves as both a wave and a particle. It discusses electromagnetic waves, diffraction patterns, and interference, providing evidence of light's wave-like behavior. The photoelectric effect is introduced to demonstrate light's particle-like properties. The concept of wave-particle duality is extended to electrons, highlighting their similar behavior to photons.
