    1 day ago · 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:

  2. 6 days ago · Louis de Broglie, a French physicist, is best known for his groundbreaking work in quantum theory. Born on August 15, 1892, in Dieppe, France, de Broglie made significant contributions to the field of theoretical physics during the early 20th century.

  3. 2 days ago · The Equation. The de Broglie equation is expressed as: 𝜆 = ℎ/𝑝 . where: λ is the wavelength associated with the particle, known as the de Broglie wavelength. h is Planck’s constant 6.626×10−³⁴ Js. p is the momentum of the particle, given by the product of its mass (𝑚 m) and velocity (𝑣 v ), so 𝑝=𝑚𝑣.

  4. Apr 29, 2024 · In 1924, French physicist Louis de Broglie used the equations of Einstein's theory of special relativity to show that particles can exhibit wave-like characteristics and that waves can...

  5. Apr 30, 2024 · Louis de Broglie introduced his theory of electron waves in 1924, which proposed that particles could exhibit properties of waves. His famous equation relates the wavelength of a particle to its momentum: 𝜆 = ℎ/𝑝 where 𝜆is the wavelength, ℎ is Planck’s constant, and 𝑝 p is the momentum of the particle.

  6. 3 days ago · Louis de Broglie hypothesized that this is true for all particles, even particles which have mass such as electrons. He showed that, assuming that the matter waves propagate along with their particle counterparts, electrons form standing waves , meaning that only certain discrete rotational frequencies about the nucleus of an atom are allowed.

  8. 2 days ago · In the 20th century, physicist Louis de Broglie proposed that it was not just light that could exhibit both wave-like and particle-like characteristics; he suggested that particles with mass, such as electrons and protons, could also behave like waves.
