1) In 1905, Einstein released works establishing that light behaves as both waves and particles, contradicting classical physics, through the photoelectric effect and theory of relativity.
2) In 1924, de Broglie proposed that particles also exhibit wave-like properties with an associated wavelength, helping explain quantization of electron orbits.
3) In 1926, Heisenberg formulated the uncertainty principle showing the impossibility of determining both a particle's exact position and momentum simultaneously.
