Question

What did De Broglie suggest about the electrons?

Answer 1

De Broglie:

De Broglie was a French physicist that proposed that matter like radiation exhibits dual behavior such as both particle and wavelike properties.

De Broglie electron concept:

1. It was found that an electron beam undergoes diffraction which is a phenomenon a characteristic of waves.
2. The photon has momentum as well as wavelength and also electrons have momentum as well as wavelength.
3. He also established a relation between wavelength ($\mathrm{\lambda }$) and the momentum (p): $\mathrm{\lambda }=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{p}}$, where h is the plank's constant ($6.626\times {10}^{-34}\mathrm{Js}$).
4. Every object in motion has a wave character.
