Wave mechanicsIn 1905, Einstein stirred the world when he demonstrated that light has particle properties. In 1921 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. But how can the particle properties be reconciled with the wave properties of light? Around 1920, first efforts were made to explain the phenomenon stating that particles also show some characteristics o [..]
