What was de Broglie's groundbreaking hypothesis?

  • Atom Structure

  • Wave Nature of Electrons

  • Speed of Light

  • Plasma Theory

Answer

Electrons, the fundamental building blocks of matter, were traditionally viewed as particles. However, in a groundbreaking hypothesis, Louis de Broglie proposed that electrons also exhibit wave-like properties. This revolutionary concept, known as the wave-particle duality of matter, challenged classical physics and paved the way for quantum mechanics.
