Wave-Particle Duality

Scientific explanation of Wave-Particle Duality


Matter presents the particularity of having a wave and particle behavior. This phenomenon is known as the wave-particle duality, or complementarity. However, since a century, this enigma has still not been solved.

This webpage proposes a rational and logical explanation to the wave-particle duality enigma .

Current definition of
the wave-particle duality

It is generally accepted that the wave-particle duality is two different visions of a single object. Usually, physicists take a cylinder to explain duality. We observe either a rectangle or a circle depending on where we stand.

duality

This metaphor is very interesting but it doesn't explain anything. It does not explain what really occurs on the particle level. We need a more scientific explanation to this enigma.

These examples show that the wave-particle duality also exist on Earth. However, we must note that, in all cases, the wave has necessarily the same constitution as the medium.



Deductions

 
       Wave–Particle Duality appears only in
       this very particular situation where

  • the particle
  • the wave
  • the medium

       have the same constitution.

Confirmation

We have at least three indications supporting this explanation:

  1. In experimentations, as in our examples, the particle and the wave never appear simultaneously.
  2. Electromagnetism appears only when the particle is moving. Our examples show that if the particle doesn't move, the wave doesn't exist. If so, we can't have electromagnetism effects.
  3. This description fully explains the two slits experimentation (a dedicated website concerning this topic will be release soon).


Conclusions

The wave-particle duality has always been regarded as a burden for the physicists because no one has been able to explain it rationally. The official explanation is:

We note a wave-particle duality, which is very strange, but this is a normal situation since quantum mechanics is, by definition, illogical and irrational.

The present explanation does not share this "theory of irrational" of quantum mechanics. It transforms this disadvantage into an advantage. Instead of regarding duality as a burden, it regards it as luck, the great luck to solve the mystery of matter:

We can deduce from the wave-particle duality that we are in the very particular case where waves, particles and the medium have the same constitution. Thus, if we find the constitution of the medium, we will know the constitution of waves and particles (or the converse).
