What are matter waves? Derive an expression for the de Broglie wave length.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Waves associated with material particles in motion are called matter waves.
de Broglie wavelength `lambda=(h)/(mv)`
where `lambda` is the de Broglie wavelength, m is the mass and v is the velocity of the particle
