Quantum & Atomic Physics
nm (Wavelength)
A 1927 physics experiment that experimentally confirmed De Broglie's matter wave hypothesis by demonstrating electron diffraction from a nickel crystal.
n λ = 2 d sin θ = h / p
De Broglie Wavelength
Quantum & Atomic Physics
m or nm (Wavelength)
The wavelength associated with a massive particle, expressing its intrinsic wave-like character.
λ = h / p = h / (m v)
