Episode XX: Light, Wave or Particle?

May 09, 2017

In this episode, Chris and Mike discuss the dual nature of light. In some experiments, light behaves like a particle while in others it behaves like a wave. We will discuss some of these experiments and their interpretations.

Note: We were joking about Maxwell's house and about fig newtons. Maxwell inherited his home in Edinburgh once his father died and lived there most of his adult life. It was not made of coffee. Fig newtons originated in Massachusetts and are named after the town Newton. Isaac Newton never invented them.
