De Broglie’s theory of wave nature of electrons: Electron, like light has dual character (particle and wave like) de Broglie suggested the wave nature of electrons and derived the relation λ = h/p where λ is the wavelength and p the momentum of the electron and h is Plank’s constant. This relation is verified by

Nature of light and electromagnetic spectrum:  According to Newton’s corpuscular theory, light is propagated as a stream of particles, called corpuscles. This could justify the phenomenon of reflection and refraction of light but failed to explain the phenomenon of diffraction, interference etc. Clerk Maxwell suggested that light waves are associated with both electric and magnetic

Quantization: means that a quantity does not vary continuously. The energy of an electron in an atom cannot have any arbitrary value but only certain characteristic values. ­A definite quantum of energy is accepted while moving from lower to higher energy level or lost while moving from higher to lower energy level, It does not
