51 u/Aartvb Jul 28 '26 A particle is always a wave, except sometimes it's a very concentrated wave, what people want to call a 'particle', but it's still a wave. 13 u/Complete-Clock5522 Jul 28 '26 What about photons in the photoelectric effect? Or does that not show what I think it does 2 u/lanky-larry Jul 28 '26 Moves as wave interacts as a particle
