Connect each of the following famous quantum experiments with
its implication:
Millikan oil drop experiment Light behaves like a wave
Double slit experiment (light) Light behaves like a particle
Double slit experiment (electrons) The electron behaves like a wave
Photoelectric effect The electron behaves like a particle
Millikan oil drop experiment: This experiment is used to measure the charge per mass ratio of electrons. Since we can define mass only to particles this experiment implies that The electron behaves like a particle
Double slit experiment (light): This experiment is used to demonstrate interference phenomena. Since light is being used in this experiment, this experimental implication is that Light behaves like a wave
Double slit experiment (electrons): As mentioned above interference is used to demonstrate the wave nature. In this experiment even with electrons, we see interference. So, it implies The electron behaves like a wave
Photoelectric effect: This experiment demonstrates the particle nature of a wave. So, Light behaves like a particle
