Question

According to the modern view of quantum mechanics, which objects can act like waves? A) Light, but not electrons or atoms B) Electrons, but not light or atoms C) Light and electrons, but not atoms D) Light, electrons, and atoms E) According to quantum mechanics, nothing really acts like waves

Answer 1

D) Light, electrons, and atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Wave-particle duality of matter every particle has a wave associated with it. This means that Light, electrons, and atoms can act like waves.

As the mass of the particle increases the wavelengths keep getting shorter. This makes it hard to detect the waves of macroscopic particles. Further development in quantum mechanics has led to the development of the quantum field theory
