The problem of wave-particle dualism or wave-corpuscle dualism is commonly related to the supposed dual nature, both corpuscular and wave, of the behaviour of matter and electromagnetic radiation, as understood in the framework of quantum theory and in some experiments, including the photoelectric effect, diffraction, interference (Young's double-slit experiment) and the manifestation of wave properties by particles such as the electron. In quantum mechanics, this dualism is described by the principle of complementarity, with the subsequent overcoming of the concepts of wave and particle in favour of the concept of excitation of quantum fields.

Scheme of the Structures of Information

Definition

Waves are Structures of Propagation, the essence of radiation, the radiative aspect of Physical Reality. These structures have no Mass (only Motion, Charge and Spin), so they propagate in the Elementary Field at the maximum allowed speed (c, the so called "speed of light in the vacuum").

Waves are carriers of Information, of Energy. They carry out exchanges of Information, of Energy between Vortices, Structures of Conservation, relations / interactions between vortex structures.

In relation to the presence of Perturbation, or not, and according to the visibility, in the Physical Reality we will have on the side of the Dark structures, the Gravitational Waves, and on the side of the Visible structures, the Electromagnetic Waves.

In the field of Electromagnetic Phenomena, it is of utmost importance a correct distinction between structures formed by a single cycle, manifestations of a single phenomenon, from those formed by several cycles, wave trains, manifestations of a periodic phenomenon. This distinction helps to clarify the quantum weirdness of wave-particle duality, so well represented by the double-slit experiment and many other puzzling physical phenomena.

Description

The shapes of waves

Difference between single wave (eg photon) and wave train (eg coherent photons emitted by laser, radio electromagnetic emission, continuous oscillation).

The wave particle duality

The problem of wave-particle dualism or wave-corpuscle dualism is commonly related to the supposed dual nature, both corpuscular and wave, of the behaviour of matter and electromagnetic radiation, as understood in the framework of quantum theory and in some experiments, including the photoelectric effect, diffraction, interference (Young's double-slit experiment) and the manifestation of wave properties by particles such as the electron. In quantum mechanics, this dualism is described by the principle of complementarity, with the subsequent overcoming of the concepts of wave and particle in favour of the concept of excitation of quantum fields.
