Message:


We know that laser cooling was successfully used to trap atoms, 
precisely because of light's wave/particle duality.  I can't 
remember sound being discussed in school as having a dual nature.
But sound is a form of energy right? Does it also have a dual nature?


pls. enlighten me on this one.
