Lesson
Is an Electron a Particle or a
1 Wave?

We all know that atom is the building block of all matter in the universe.
These extremely small particles are made up of a few even smaller particles.
The earliest particles discovered that make up an atom are protons,
neutrons and electrons. But scientists did not stop looking for the
fundamental particles of matter and what “holds” them together. Recent
discoveries suggest that quarks, which make up protons and neutrons, are
another type of fundamental particle. Together with the leptons, quarks
make up the stuff we think of as matter.
Large parts of modern physics and chemistry are based on the study of
energy levels of various atomic and molecular systems. Through the
advancement in technology, laboratory instruments are now able to contain
and observe individual electrons while telescopes can detect electron plasma
by its energy emission. All these were the result of understanding the atomic
and molecular behavior of the subatomic particles, specifically the electrons.
This lesson will help enhance your understanding about the molecular
behavior of electrons and how its discovery led to the development of the
wave-particle duality theory.

What is It

Is Electron a Particle or a Wave?

This question may seem a simple one but in the scientists’ inquisitive minds, this is
not so. In science, a particle is described as a minute portion of matter and is also
referred to as the smallest known building blocks of the universe. This means that
everything that makes up matter and universe is called particle. So how can
electrons become a wave? Well, the first thing that we need to understand is to
discover more about electrons. Are you ready? If yes, then let us proceed.
The electron is a subatomic particle that has a negative electric charge. It has a no
known structure and is believed to be a point particle. It has a mass that is
approximately 1836 times less than that of the proton. The anti-particle of the
electron is called the positron which is identical to electron except that it is
producing a pair (or more) of gamma ray photons. The name “electron” was
introduced for the electric charge quantity in 1894 by Irish physicist George
Johnstone Stoney. The electron was identified as a particle by Joseph John Thomson
in 1897 using the cathode ray tubes that enabled him to calculate the charge to
mass ratio. He wona Nobel prize for his work.

Then, where does the idea of electron being a wave come from? It is like having two
different worlds mold into one! A sound impossible isn’t it? Let us continue
exploring by understanding what is a wave and if electrons manifest this wave-like
behavior.
In physics, a wave is described as a disturbance that travels through space-time
and medium accompanied by transferring energy from one place to another. A
medium may be a substance or material that carries the wave. The wave medium
is not the wave and it does not make the wave; it merely transports the wave
from its source to other locations. Remember, waves transfer energy and not
matter. Thus, waves are said to be an energy transport phenomenon.

Consider a slinky wave as an example.

Evidently, in describing these two words, waves and particles are very
different. We can say that a particle is a small thing, finite object. You can
hold a particle in your hand. Particles have momentum and positions. On
the other hand, waves are oscillations, they are not localized. When the
waves meet together, crest meets crests it is called constructive interference.
When the waves cancel each other, no interaction at all, it is called
destructive interference.

We can apply this wave interference in sound and light. When two waves
meet together, sounds are produced, light is present. When there is no wave
interaction, no sounds are created and only darkness.

Now, how is electron become a particle and exhibit wave-like behavior at the
same time? Let us go back to memory lane by tracing how it all started.

Lesson
Evidences of Wave-like
2 Behavior of Electrons

Two famous scientists in the 1600s, Christian Huygens and Isaac Newton
were both working on the theories for the behavior of light. Huygens
proposed a wave theory of light while Newton’s was a “corpuscular” (particle)
theory of light. Newton believed that light was made up of small particles
and these particles would naturally have mass too. Since light particles have
mass, he deduced that a beam of light parallel to the surface of the earth
would bend downward due to the pull of earth’s gravity. On the other hand,
Huygens believed that light was made up of vibrating waves perpendicular
to the direction of the light travels. With this concept, he was able to
formulate a way to visualize wave propagation. Huygen suggested that light
wave peaks form surfaces like the layers of an onion. In a vacuum or other
uniform mediums, the light waves are spherical and these wave surfaces
advance or spread out as they travel at the speed of light. This Huygen’s
Principle explains why light shining through a pin hole or slit will spread out
rather than going in a straight line.
In 1803, Thomas Young studied the interference of light waves using the
double-slit experiment. By shining light through a screen with two slits
equally separated, the light emerging form the two slits, spread out
according to Huygen’s principle. Eventually the two wave fronts will overlap
with each other. His experiment firmly supported Huygen’s wave theory of
light. Later in 1815, August Fresnel supported Young’s experiments with
mathematical calculations.
In the early nineteenth century, diffraction (slight bending) of light had been
observed which firmly support the wave theory of light over Newton’s
particle theory. The term diffraction was first discovered and coined by
Francesco Grimaldi, an Italian natural philosopher. In 1900 Max Planck
proposed the existence of a light quantum, a finite packet of energy which
depends on the frequency and velocity of the radiation. The birth of
quantum physics is attributed to Max Planck’s experiment on black body
radiation.

 lOMoARcPSD|22112566

In 1905 Albert Einstein had proposed a solution to the problem of

observations made on the behavior of light having characteristics of both
wave and particle theory. Using the works of Planck on emission of light to
form hot bodies, Einstein suggested that light is composed of tiny particles
called photons and each photon has energy. This finding came to be known
as the photon theory of light which later led to the conceptualization of
quantum mechanics in the twentieth century.
After the wave-particle dual behavior of electron in light was accepted,
another scientist took a leap by testing the hypothesis in matter. Louis de
Broglie made a bold assumption and performed experiments to confirm
whether the same observation can be seen in matter. In 1924, he was able
to observed wave properties of the particle when beams of electrons and
neutrons were directed at crystals and diffraction patterns were seen. He
concluded that everything has a wavelength but the wave properties of
matter are only observable for very small objects. He showed that the wave-
particle duality was not merely on light but can be exhibited by both
radiation and matter. Thus, the wave-particle duality theory which states
that matter and light exhibit the behaviors of both waves and particles
depending upon the circumstances or condition was accepted.

Further studies was made by De Broglie and he found out that the
probability of finding a particle at a particular location is related to the wave
associated with the particle. The larger the amplitude of the wave at a
particular point, the larger the probability that the electron will be found
there. Similarly, the smaller amplitude the smaller the probability. This
means that the larger the objects, the smaller wavelengths can be observed.
But for small objects, wavelengths are more distinct as shown in the double
slit experiment with electrons. Because of his profound discovery, de Broglie
won a Nobel Prize.

1. Isaac Newton believed that light is made up of tiny particles
called corpuscles or particles.
2. The evidences that light is a particle are the following:
 As light enters in two openings, two beam of light passing
each other and
 do not interact with one another like moving particles
called electrons ,
 When you shine light on a metal, the light transfers its
energy to the atom
 In discrete packets called quanta like a tiny hard sphere
that make up matter.
3. The evidence that shows light is a wave is the interference
pattern of waves formed when it enters the opening
occupying the same space.
What’s New
1. It shows like series of waves in
the ocean or waves radiated in
space.
2. It shows the molecular
arrangement of atoms in matter or
electrons in an atom.
3. It shows beam of light that
interfere with each other.
4. It shows electrons moving
around the nucleus of an atom.
