Dual Behavior of Matter, De Broglie equation,
From the various experiments involving the Interactions of light and matter, Radiation has dual nature i.e it posses properties of both wave and particles. photo-Electric effect show that light behaves as particles. where as Young double slit experiment show that light behaves as waves.
On examination of Planck's and Einstein's relationship, L. de Broglie (1923) concluded that the energy is associated with both radiation and matter.
De Broglie Hypothesis:
A wave is Associated with a moving material particles which controls a particles in every respect
wavelength = Planck's constant / momentum
Limitations:
From de Broglie equation, we may conclude that wave nature of matter will manifest only when mass (m) is very small compared to (h).
