The de Broglie hypothesis is a concept in quantum mechanics proposed by Louis de Broglie in 1924. It suggests that particles, such as electrons, exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties. According to de Broglie, particles like electrons can have associated wavelengths, similar to how waves are described in classical physics.
The de Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by the de Broglie equation:
λ = h / p
where λ is the de Broglie wavelength,
h is Planck's constant 6.626 x 10^-34
p is the momentum of the particle.
This equation implies that particles with larger momentum (mass times velocity) have shorter de Broglie wavelengths, and particles with smaller momentum have longer de Broglie wavelengths. The de Broglie wavelength is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics and is particularly significant in understanding phenomena like wave-particle duality and the behavior of particles at the quantum level.
