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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The wave associated with material particles in inotion are called inatter waves or de-Broglie waves.
de – Broglie wave length of a particie is given by
`lamda = (h)/(P) =(h)/(mv)`
Where h`to` plank.s constant.
m `to` mass of the particle
v` to` velocity of the particle.
