DeBroglie Hypothesis
- DeBroglie stated that like matter,light shows dual nature too
- Light behaves both as a wave and a particle
Wave Nature
- Light is typically a electromagnetic wave which can be perceived by the human eye
- True to its wave Nature,light exhibits both diffraction and interference
- Like the UV Rays,Infra Red Rays etc
Particle Nature
- It is hypothesised that fundamental particles called Photons constitute light
- As a result,it shows photoelectric effect and scintillating
- Photons are small packets of energy
DeBroglie's Relation
According to Theory of Relativity,
- Energy of the particle
- c is speed of light
- m is mass of the particle
Also,
But,
Implies,
- h is Planck's constant
- is wavelength
Equating (1) and (2),we write :
The following relation can be generalized for all particles by replacing the speed of light with a common notation of velocity

Deriving the de Broglie Equation
The equation is E = h*nu, where e is energy, h is the Planck constant, and nu is frequency of the wave. Now, Planck's constant is a proportionality constant to describe the relation between the energy and the frequency.
