The dual nature of radiation and matter is explored through the interactions between electromagnetic energy and electrons. The chapter discusses the emergence of the photoelectric effect, established by Hertz and further examined by Hallwachs and Lenard, leading to Einstein's theoretical formulation. Additionally, it delves into the implications of wave-particle duality, as exemplified by de Broglie's hypothesis on matter waves.
