de broglie's theory

De-Broglie noted that according to the theory of relativity, the role played by momentum 'P' and the energy 'E' of the particle is done by angular frequency ' w ' and the propagation vector 'k' of a wav..

De-Broglie noted that according to the theory of relativity, the role played by momentum 'P' and the energy 'E' of the particle is done by angular frequency ' w ' and the propagation vector 'k' of a wave. According to Einstein relation E = mc 2 Where 'm' is the mass of the p..

Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation - Light has been regarded as waves to explain the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction etc. However in 1905, Albert Einstein suggested that light has a dual character, which means, it can behave as a particle as well as a wave. It was observed that so..

Wave Nature of Particles - The suggestion that matter may have wave like properties was first put forwarded in 1924-1925 by Louis De Broglie. He argued that if light, which consists of waves according to classical picture, can sometimes behave like particles, then it should be possible fo..

Summary - The phenomenon of interference, diffraction and polarization can be explained by the wave theory of light. But the photo electric effect can be explained only using 'photon theory'. That is using particle nature of light. The experimental study of photoelectric effect ..
