Matter Wave

Matter Waves

These waves are also referred to as De Broglie waves. According to Louis de Broglies theory, a beam that comprises electrons can get deflected like any other ray of water wave or electromagnetic radiation.

These types of waves show properties similar to the properties of a matter, such as atoms, etc. There are various equations represented as De Broglie’s equations that signifies the dual nature of matter. The frequency of matter waves is directly dependent on the kinetic energy.

Wavelength of matter wave: λ = h / p

• h: Plancks Constant=6.62x$10^{-34}$ J-s

• P: Momentum of Particle=mv

• m: Mass of particle

• v: Velocity of particle
