Question
Explain de-Broglie wavelength.
Advertisements
Solution
The wavelength that is associated with an object in relation to its momentum and mass is known as the de-Broglie wavelength.
de-Broglie equated the energy equation of Plank (wave nature) and Einstein (particle nature) such that,
E = hv (Plank energy relation)
E = mc2 (Einsteins mass-energy relation)
