Explain particle-wave (dual) nature of matter.
Explain particle-wave (dual) nature of matter.
Optical phenomena like interference, diffraction and polarization can be explained by wave nature of light.
Photoelectric effect and Compton effect can be explained by particle nature of light.
Thus when light is in motion it behaves as wave. Its absorption and emission takes place in form of particle.
Thus light possess dual nature.

Monochromatic light with a frequency well above the cutoff frequency is incident on the emitter in a photoelectric effect apparatus. The frequency of the light is then doubled while the intensity is kept constant. How does this affect the photoelectric current?

In an accelerator experiment on high-energy collisions of electrons with positrons, a certain event is interpreted as annihilation of an electron-positron pair of total energy $10.2\; BeV$ into two $\gamma$ -rays of equal energy. What is the wavelength associated with each $\gamma$ -ray? $\left(1\; BeV =10^{9}\; eV \right)$
