New cards

Particles’ particle behaviour

  • Rest Mass - particles have Ek and momentum

  • Charged particles deflected by an electromagnetic field

2
New cards

Particles’ wave behaviour

Double slit - diffraction causing an interference pattern

3
New cards

Waves’ particle behaviour

The photoelectric effect:

  • One photon releases one electron

  • Instantaneous release (no ‘charging up’ time)

  • Threshold frequency - minimum energy of photon
