One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Unit 6 Segment A: The Nature of Waves The properties of waves are explored. Unit 6 Segment A: The Nature of Waves Properties of waves are introduced as we explore the wave velocity equation by finding ...

Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Reflection is described at boundaries of ...

Almost 100 years ago, a revolutionary discovery was made in the field of physics: microscopic matter exhibits wave properties. Over the decades, more and more precise experiments have been used to ...

One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment, scientists have now managed to observe what is known as the Kapitza-Dirac effect for the first ...

The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...

An interface between media with different helicities (red and blue curly arrows) supports zero-helicity linearly polarized surface modes (green arrow). (Credit: Konstantin Bliokh) Maxwell’s ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
