Quantization of Energy Part 2: Photons, Electrons, and Wave-Particle Duality

The video explores the evolution of modern physics, starting with Planck's introduction of quantization and Einstein's groundbreaking work on the photoelectric effect, which demonstrated light's particle nature. It discusses wave-particle duality, a concept that describes light and matter as both waves and particles. The Bohr model is introduced, explaining electron energy levels in hydrogen atoms. De Broglie's theory extends wave-particle duality to matter, leading to the development of quantum mechanics. The video suggests further study in related chemistry courses.
