Wave-Particle Duality - Part 2

Mr. Anderson explains wave-particle duality, focusing on how light, typically seen as a wave, also exhibits particle-like properties, known as photons. He discusses the photoelectric effect, where UV light on metal releases electrons, demonstrating light's particle nature. Einstein's analysis showed energy relates to frequency, not amplitude, proving light's dual nature. The video includes a demonstration of the photoelectric effect, highlighting the immediate release of electrons at the right frequency, reinforcing the concept of light as particles.
