We know that electrons get a centripetal force to move around in the orbits but deBroglie's relation says a particle (such as electron) has a wave nature, So how does centripetal force work properly now? Because it can only counterbalance an object in a circular, oval or elliptical path. How does it work having a wavy path around it?
