Fr.: équation de de Broglie  

According to the → de Broglie hypothesis, which has been verified by experiments, every → particle of matter, whatever its nature, has a characteristic → wavelength
associated with its wavelike quantum aspect. The de Broglie equation gives the equivalent wavelength of a moving particle: λ = h/mv, where h is → Planck’s constant, m the mass of the particle, and v its velocity.

See also: → de Broglie wavelength, → Davisson-Germer experiment.

Etymology (EN): Named after Louis Victor de Broglie (1892-1987), French physicist, creator of a new field in physics, wave mechanics, who won the Nobel prize in physics in 1929. → equation
