Fermilab theoretical physicist, Dr. Christopher Hill explains the wave properties of electrons and electromagnetic force described by Feynman diagrams.
Feynman diagrams are a pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behaviour of subatomic particles, first developed by the Nobel Prize-winning American physicist Richard Feynman, and first introduced in 1948. The interaction of sub-atomic particles can be complex and difficult to understand intuitively, and the Feynman diagrams allow for a simple visualisation of what would otherwise be a rather arcane and abstract formula.
