| Mar 3, 2017 at 7:34 | comment | added | Tejas P | @JohnRennie Sir, I understand the mathematical model using the wavefunction to explain the electron interference and diffraction. Could you please give me the physical intuition to understand what electron wave means physically? Thank you. | |
| Mar 3, 2017 at 6:29 | comment | added | Shashaank | @TEJASP Sorry, I don't think I will be able to give you the correct intuition ( because I don't think that a very good intuition is possible).And There is no point in giving the wrong intuition. I think you should ask professors here or Sir John Rennie . They are the best who can help you ! | |
| Mar 3, 2017 at 4:48 | comment | added | Tejas P | @Shashaank, my initial understanding was that , the probability of an electron is what is smeared. Could you please give me a physical interpretation of saying that electron behaves like a wave? | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 19:03 | comment | added | Shashaank | @TEJASP The electron never gets smeared. It is the probability which is smeared. Either you find a 100% electron at x=1 or none. There is no such thing as 30% electron here n there | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 18:46 | comment | added | Tejas P | Thank you. From the above suggested answer I understand that wave and particle natures are complementary. Could you please explain the physical meaning of saying electron can behave like a wave? Does electron wave mean that electron gets smeared out in space? | |

| Mar 2, 2017 at 18:04 | comment | added | John Rennie | Required reading: Is the wave-particle duality a real duality? Your statement What is seen as an electron wave is just the probability distribution of an electron, the electron always remains a particle is incorrect. | |
