Achilles Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Is wave properties of particles referring to classical mechanics waves?
Markus Hanke Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 No, it refers to the fact that quantum objects sometimes behave like waves, and sometimes like particles, depending on what kind of setup you use to observe them. They have both wave and particle characteristics (which are complimentary descriptions of the same entity), hence the name “wave-particle duality”.
