VCE Physics/Unit 4/AoS 2

Description from the Study Design
In this area of study students explore the design of major experiments that have led to the development of theories to describe the most fundamental aspects of the physical world – light and matter.

When light  and  matter  are  probed  they  appear  to  have  remarkable  similarities. Light, which  was  previously  described  as  an  electromagnetic  wave,  appears  to  exhibit  both  wave-like  and  particle-like  properties. Findings that electrons behave in a wave-like manner challenged thinking about the relationship between light and matter, where matter had been modelled previously as being made up of particles
