De-Broglie hypothesis and De-Broglie equation
De-Broglie Hypothesis In 1924, de-Broglie proposed that matter has a dual character , as wave and as particle . In Bohr theory, electron is treated as particle. But according to De-Broglie, electron has a dual dual character; both as a material particle and as a wave. He derived an expression for calculating the wave length 'λ' of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v'. According to this, wave length = λ = h / mv , where 'h' is Planck's constant This is equation is known as De-Broglie's equation and it is an expression for wave - matter dualism . The waves associated with particles in motion are called matter waves or De-Broglie waves . They differ from electromagnetic radiations. They have lower velocities, and no electrical and magnetical fields associated with them. Derivation of De-Broglie's equation The de-Broglie's equation can be derived by using the mass energy relationship suggest...
