g Describe how an electron can possess the properties of both a particle and a wave. How do the wave properties of electrons rel
ate to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? Electrons possess the properties of particles in that they ---Select--- . However, Louis de Broglie theorized that matter can also show wave properties, specifically characteristic wavelengths based on its mass and velocity. The wave properties of electrons were observed by their ability to ---Select--- when passed through a crystal, similar to the diffraction of electromagnetic waves. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that wave properties of electrons ---Select--- the exact location of an electron in space.
According to Louis de Broglie, matter has an associated wavelength. Hence, there exist no clear cut difference between matter and wave. Matter may be regarded as a wave and vice versa depending on the behavior of each under the given circumstances.
According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the position and momentum of matter can not be simultaneously determined with precision. This further reinforces the wave-particle concept of the electron.
When electrons are passed through crystals, they are diffracted just like electromagnetic waves. This further reinforces the wave-particle paradox.
