Wave-particle duality is the concept that particles, such as electrons and photons, can exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties. One example of an experiment that supports this idea is the double-slit experiment, where particles, such as electrons or photons, are sent through two closely spaced slits and produce an interference pattern on a screen, indicating their wave-like behaviour. Another example is the photoelectric effect, where light behaves as discrete particles called photons, causing the emission of electrons from a metal surface.
