a) Wave-particle duality

c) the de Broglie equation λ = h/p


wave-particle duality = all matter has wave and particle properties

  • all moving matter has a wavelength → de Broglie wavelength


λ = h/p

  • de Broglie wavelength of a particle (m) = Planck’s constant (Js) / momentum of the particle (kgms-1)
