[SOLVED] dual nature of the electron

[eng_boody]

hi,

the dual nature of the electron means that it exists as a particle and as a wave

what does this physically mean , what is this related to the photon and the em wave ???

what is hisenberg uncertainity principle and how it is related to this ???

Quantum phisics follows no intuitive rules, but is just a representative model of real subatomic phenomens.

The double slit experiment shown that photons can behave as either particles or waves, depending from how the experiment is conducted. Even if they have zero rest mass, they move at the velocity of light then appling the relativity equation is possible to shown that they have quantity of motion, thus a not-zero equivalent mass.

You can only say where it is most likely to be but not exactly where it is for certain. Just a probability.
