complementarityn.

/ˌkɒmplɪmɛnˈtarɪti/

Etymology: < complementary adj. + -ity suffix.

A complementary relationship or situation; spec. in Physics, the capacity of the wave and particle theories of light together to explain all phenomena of a certain type, although each separately accounts for only some of the phenomena.
