Physics · Matter waves: wave nature of particle, de-Broglie relation

The wavelength of a matter wave is given by

The wavelength of a matter wave is given by

  • A. Heisenberg's hypothesis
  • B. Bohr's principle
  • C. Debroglie's rule
  • D. Newton-laplace rule

Step-by-step solution

De Broglie proposed that matter particles have wave-like properties, with wavelength λ = h/p (h is Planck's constant, p is momentum). This is known as de Broglie's rule or hypothesis.
