To show that the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is equal to the de Broglie wavelength of its quantum (photon), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Momentum of Electromagnetic Radiation The momentum \( P \) of an electromagnetic wave can be expressed in terms of its frequency \( \mu \) (or \( f \)): \[ P = \frac{H \mu}{C} \] where \( H \) is Planck's constant and \( C \) is the speed of light. ...
