  • Arthur Compton Discovered the Compton Effect

  • Louis de Broglie Developed His Theory of Electron Waves

    The notion that matter on the atomic scale might have the properties of a wave was rooted in a proposal Einstein had made 20 years before. Einstein had suggested that light of short wavelengths might under some conditions be observed to behave as if it were composed of particles.
