State de Broglie hypothesis.

Open in App
Solution

Louis de Broglie, in 1924, stated that a wave is associated with a moving particle (i.e. matter) and so named these waves as matter waves. He proposed that just like light has dual nature, electrons also have wave like properties.
Wavelength of a moving particle is given by λ=hp
where h is the Planck's constant and p is the momentum of moving particle.
