The Hammar experiment is a classic physics experiment designed to demonstrate the wave-particle duality of light, specifically focusing on the concept of photons and the quantum nature of light. It was aimed at investigating the behavior of light in a vacuum and in the presence of gravitational fields, contributing to the understanding of quantum mechanics and the photon’s role in it. In essence, the Hammar experiment involves a setup where light is passed through a device that can measure changes in the light's properties under different conditions.
