Does a photon have a de-Broglie wavelength ? Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a photon has a de Broglie wavelength, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand de Broglie Wavelength The de Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda \)) is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the particle. ...
