Wave-particle duality challenges our classical understanding of matter and energy. It shows that particles like electrons can behave as waves, and waves like light can act as particles. This mind-bending concept is key to grasping quantum mechanics.
The de Broglie wavelength equation connects a particle's wavelength to its momentum. It helps explain why quantum effects are noticeable for tiny particles but not for everyday objects. This idea bridges classical and quantum physics, showing how they relate.

Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist best known for developing the theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and energy. His work established a framework for modern physics and laid the groundwork for concepts like wave-particle duality, the quantization of energy, and interactions between electromagnetic radiation and matter.
