Louis-Victor de Broglie

August 15, 1892- March 19, 1987

He attended the University of Paris and earned his Doctorate degree.

Louis-Victor de Broglie suggested that electrons acted like light and behaved both as a wave and a particle. This explains that electrons can only move in certain orbits or energy levels that satisfy both their wave and particle properties.

He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1929.
