PHY 104 Photo Electric Emission Objective Question

Question

According to the De Broglie hypothesis, if energy (radiant) is undulatory and/or corpuscular, what must be true about matter, due to nature's symmetry?
Options
A Matter must only be corpuscular.
B Matter must only be undulatory.
C Matter must be corpuscular and/or undulatory.
Correct Answer
D Matter exhibits neither property.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

On page 11, under 'DE BROGLIE HYPOTHESIS', point 3 states: 'If energy (radiant) is undulatory and/or corpuscular, matter must be corpuscular and/or undulatory'.

Hint

The core idea of De Broglie's hypothesis is symmetry in nature's behavior.
