Louis Victor Pierre Raymond, 7th Duc de Broglie (/ d ə ˈ b r oʊ ɡ l i /, also US: / d ə b r oʊ ˈ ɡ l iː, d ə ˈ b r ɔɪ /, French: [də bʁɔj] or [də bʁœj] ⓘ; 15 August 1892 – 19 March 1987) was a French aristocrat and physicist who made groundbreaking contributions to quantum theory.
The concept that matter behaves like a wave was proposed by French physicist Louis de Broglie (/ d ə ˈ b r ɔɪ /) in 1924, and so matter waves are also known as de Broglie waves. The de Broglie wavelength is the wavelength , λ , associated with a particle with momentum p through the Planck constant , h :
Elected a member of the Academy of Sciences of the French Institute in 1933, Louis de Broglie has been its Permanent Secretary for the mathematical sciences since 1942. He has been a member of the Bureau des Longitudes since 1944. He holds the Grand Cross of the Légion d’Honneur and is an Officer of the Order of Leopold of Belgium.
Louis de Broglie (born August 15, 1892, Dieppe, France—died March 19, 1987, Louveciennes) was a French physicist best known for his research on quantum theory and for predicting the wave nature of electrons. He was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physics.
Prince Louis-Victor Pierre Raymond de Broglie. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1929. Born: 15 August 1892, Dieppe, France. Died: 19 March 1987, Paris, France. Affiliation at the time of the award: Sorbonne University, Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris, France.
Louis de Broglie (In full:Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymond, 7th duc de Broglie) was an eminent French physicist. He gained worldwide acclaim for his groundbreaking work on quantum theory. In his 1924 thesis, he discovered the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter have wave properties.
Feb 12, 2024 · In the early 20th century, physicist Louis de Broglie introduced a groundbreaking concept—that particles can exhibit wave-like characteristics, merging the disparate realms of quantum theory and classical mechanics.
Jun 8, 2018 · Louis de Broglie achieved a worldwide reputation for his discovery of the wave theory of matter, for which he received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1929. His work was extended into a full-fledged wave mechanics by Erwin Schrödinger and thus contributed to the creation of quantum mechanics.
May 18, 2023 · One hundred years ago, Louis de Broglie posed a question: could matter particles behave like waves? This duality was already known for light; extending it to electrons and indeed all matter had...
Mar 20, 1987 · Louis de Broglie, a French physicist who won the 1929 Nobel Prize for work in wave mechanics, died Thursday at a hospital in Paris, his relatives announced. He was 94 years old.
