Definition: De-Broglie Wave

The wave associated with a moving material particle of total energy E and momentum p is called a De-Broglie Wave or Matter Wave, and its wavelength is called the De-Broglie Wavelength.

Formula: De-Broglie Wavelength

De-Broglie Wavelength (general): \[\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\]

De-Broglie Wavelength (neutron): \[\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}=\frac{0.286}{\sqrt{V}}\mathrm{\r{A}}=\frac{1.23}{\sqrt{V}}\mathrm{nm}\]

De-Broglie Wavelength (gas molecule): \[\lambda=\frac{h}{m\times v_{rms}}\]

Key Points: De-Broglie Hypothesis

  1. According to de-Broglie, every particle of matter has both particle as well as wave properties associated with it.
  2. De-Broglie proposed that a moving material particle of total energy EE and momentum pp has a wave associated with it.
  3. Wave-particle duality implies that all moving particles have an associated frequency, an associated energy, and an associated momentum.
