Question

State and Explain De Broglie Equation

Answer 1

Answer:

de Broglie equation states that a matter can act as waves much like light and radiation which also behave as waves and particles. 

Explanation:

The equation further explains that a beam of electrons can also be diffracted just like a beam of light.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The de Broglie equation is an equation used to describe the wave properties of matter, specifically, the wave nature of the electron:
• λ = h/mv,
• where λ is wavelength, h is Planck's constant, m is the mass of a particle, moving at a velocity v.
• de Broglie suggested that particles can exhibit properties of waves.
• The de Broglie hypothesis was verified when matter waves were observed in George Paget Thomson's cathode ray diffraction experiment and the Davisson-Germer experiment, which specifically applied to electrons. Since then, the de broglie equations has been shown to apply to elementary particles neutral atoms and molecules
