Which of the following equations implies that a particle in motion can be treated as a wave and a wave can exhibit the properties of a particle?

Options

A. `2pir = n lambda`
B. `lambda= (h)/(m)`
C. `2pir = nh`
D. `lambda = (h)/(mv)`

Answer

D

Explanation

de Broglie deduced that the particle and wave properties are related by the expression `lambda = h//mv`. Note that the left side of equation involves wavelength the wave-like property, whereas the right side makes reference to mass, a distinctly particle-like priperty.
