De Broglie postulated that a free particle with rest mass m, moving with nonrelativis- tic speed v, should have a wavelength A related to its momentum p= mo in fexacly the same way as for a photon, as expressed by Eq.

The frequency J, according 10 de Broglic, is also related tothe panicles energy E inthe same way as fora photon—namely, E a (98.2) Thus in de Broglie’s hypothesis, the relationships of wavelength to momentum ‘and of frequency to energy are exactly the same for fre particles as for photons. 3.5 PARTICLE DIFFRACTION periment that confirms the existence of de Brogle waves a nA = 2d sin aaa Here d ~ 0.091 pn and @ = 65°.
