de Broglie (1924) predicted that small particles such as electrons should show wave -like properties along with paticle character. The wave length`(lamda)` associated with particle of mass m and moving with velocity v is given as `lamda=h/(mv)` where 'h' is plank's constant. The wave nature was confirmed by Davisson and Germer's experiment and modified equation for calculation of `lamda` can be given as:
`lamda=-h/(sqrt(2Em))` where E= kinetic energy of particle.
`lamda=h/(sqrt(2dVm))`, where d= change of particle accelerated potnetial of V volt.
Velocity of d e-Broglie's waves is given by

A

`(c^(2))/v`

B

`(hv)/(mc)`

C

`(mc^(2))/h`

D

`v lamda`
