Are electron also wave as are photons. I can image electron as Gaussian pulse to preserve it dual particle-wave nature. Does it preserve own magnetic and electric field values and wave frequency?
There IS no "wave particle duality". As has been explained on this forum approximately 6,000 times, that's an 80 year old concept that is totally deprecated today (but unfortunately persists due to some mistaken belief that it makes things easier to explain to beginners). Both photons and electrons are quantum objects, NOT particles and NOT waves.Marceli said:Are electron also wave as are photons.

It means that they exhibit some wave characteristics and some particle characteristics, but that does NOT mean they are waves or particlesMarceli said:Thank you. Does it means quantum objects are not fields too (waves are mathematical description of fields and other in the space) ? Then it must be something else corresponding to space structure!

Isn't that exactly what I just said?bhobba said:The correct statement of the wave-particle duality is sometimes it behaves like a particle, and sometimes like a wave - but really its neither.

Marceli said:For example, If in quantum field time is discrete then distance must be too.
Marceli said:Also seems for me to be nonsense if described fields creates distance, means space.
A double slit experiment with electrons is a scientific experiment that involves shooting a beam of electrons through two narrow slits and observing the resulting interference pattern. This experiment is based on the wave-like behavior of electrons, which can exhibit interference patterns similar to those observed in light experiments.
A double slit experiment with electrons demonstrates the wave-particle duality of electrons by showing that electrons can behave like both particles and waves. The interference pattern observed in this experiment suggests that electrons have a wave-like nature, while the detection of individual electrons hitting the screen shows that they also have particle-like behavior.
No, a double slit experiment with electrons requires a coherent beam of electrons, meaning that the electrons must have the same energy and wavelength. This can be achieved using a particle accelerator or by using a heated filament to produce a thermionic emission of electrons.
Performing a double slit experiment with electrons is important because it helps us understand the fundamental nature of matter and the universe. It also provides evidence for the wave-particle duality concept, which has significant implications for quantum mechanics and our understanding of the behavior of subatomic particles.
A double slit experiment can be performed with any type of particle that exhibits wave-particle duality, such as photons, protons, and even small molecules. However, the wavelength of the particles must be within the size range of the slits for an interference pattern to be observed.
