Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter PYQs with Solutions PDF

Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter PYQs: The previous year’s questions of the chapter Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter will not only help students in solving the CBSE board exam’s question paper but also the competitive exams questions like NEET UG. This chapter forms the foundation for understanding the dual nature of light and matter. The discovery of the dual nature of matter and radiation is relatively recent. There is, according to physicists and scientists, yet more to learn about the dual nature of matter and radiation. Due to this, examiners target this section very much in the exam. To help students learn this chapter thoroughly, our Physics faculty has made a dedicated video solving previous year’s questions. The PDF of those important questions along with their answers is given below in this article.

Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter PYQs

The dual nature of radiation and matter previous year questions cover many different themes revolving around this concept. The questions are centered around the concepts like the Photoelectric Effect, De Broglie Hypothesis, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, etc. These concepts form one of the major sections of the modern physics. As modern physics has one of the highest weightage in the physics section of the NEET exam, understanding its core concept will not only help students solve complex questions but also crack the examination with flying colors.

Some of the important questions on this topic for Class 12 examination is given below. Questions on these patterns in different mark-segment is asked in various class 12 examinations. Students must go through the video explanation and PDF given below to understand the core concepts and answer these questions.

Previous Year Questions on Dual Nature of Matter NEET
