using -Wave particle duality- find the wavelength of a bullet, explain.
Wave-particle duality is a concept in quantum mechanics that describes the dual nature of particles. It states that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior, depending on the experimental conditions.
2)The concept of wave-particle duality was first proposed by French physicist Louis de Broglie in 1924. He suggested that particles can behave like waves, and vice versa.
3)Wave-particle duality challenges the classical understanding of the physical world, which states that particles and waves are two separate entities. It suggests that at the subatomic level, particles can behave in ways that are not intuitive to our everyday experiences.
4)The double-slit experiment and the photoelectric effect are two of the most well-known experiments that support wave-particle duality. In the double-slit experiment, particles behave like waves when they are passed through two slits, creating an interference pattern. In the photoelectric effect, particles (photons) exhibit particle-like behavior by ejecting electrons from a metal surface.
5)The uncertainty principle, proposed by Werner Heisenberg, states that it is impossible to know both the position and momentum of a particle with absolute certainty. This principle is closely related to wave-particle duality, as it suggests that particles have both wave-like and particle-like properties and cannot be fully described by either one.
