... Einstein introduced us to the particle properties of waves in 1905 (photoelectric effect). Compton scattering of x-rays by electrons (which we skipped in Chapter 2) confirmed Einstein's theories. One might ask "Is there a converse?" Do particles have wave properties? Asking such a question these day ...
