Remember!
 Einstein's Equation
Einstein's Equation is:
2
E=mc

where in:
E stands for energy
m stands for mass of the object
c stands for speed of light
 Einstein Equation
Einstein's Equation is:
2
E=mc

The energy is equal to the

mass times the speed of light
squared.

 Plank's Equation
Plank's Equation is:
E=hv

where in:
E stands for energy
h stands for Plank’s Constant
v stands for frequency of radiation
 Plank's Equation
sometimes written as f:
E=hf
The energy of a particle of light is
proportional to its frequency by constant
factor. This means that photons with
low frequency have a lower energy than
photon with high frequency.

f stands for frequency
c stands for the speed of light
λ stands for the wavelength

 De Broglie Equation
Plank's Equation Einstein's Equation
E=hc/λ E=mc 2

E=hf

Therefore,
2
mc = hc/λ
 De Broglie Equation
2
mc = hc/λ
Simplify by dividing both side with 1/c:

1/c (mc = hc/λ) 1/c

mc=h/λ
 De Broglie Equation
mc= hλ

where in:
m stands for the mass
λ stands for wavelength
c stands for speed of light
h stands for Plank’s Constant
 De Broglie Equation
When finding the value of wavelength:

λ=h/mc

In macroscopic object c is being

replaced by v, therefore:

mv=h/λ
