That confused me as i thought that mass of photon0 but a photon does have energy. The debroglie equations can be derived from the einsteins famous equation of energymass equivalence and planks theory of quantum radiation. Quantum physics i, lecture note 4 mit opencourseware. Matter waves are a central part of the theory of quantum mechanics, being an example of. It basically describes the wave nature of the electron. We have mass a particle property, in the same equation as wavelength a wave property. He used a combination of quantum theory and special relativity to propose that the wavelength.
Is there any difference between debroglie wavelength and the. If the particle of a mass m moves with velocity v then. The debroglie wavelength will be our primary physics input for the development of quantum mechanics. The main difference is that matter particles have mass. Its dual behavior is partly explained by 1doubleslit experiment of thomas young who represents the photons motion as a wave and also by 2the photoelectric effect in which the photon is considered as a particle.
Day to day objects that are around us have wavelengths so small that we can never hope to measure them. Derivation of the debroglie wave relation stack exchange. Important questions for cbse class 12 physics matter wave. Compare with compton wavelength of the particle formally speaking, c.
Clipping is a handy way to collect important slides you want to go back to later. Before i derive the equation, it is important to understand the debroglie hypothesis which i am sure. Dual nature of radiation and matter important questions for cbse class 12 physics matter wave. Electron microscope is a common instrument illustrating this fact.
Dec 07, 2015 dual nature of radiation and matter important questions for cbse class 12 physics matter wave. Computing debroglie wavelengths we usually quote the energy of a particle in terms of its kinetic energy in electron volts, ev or million electron volts, mev. This was done in the davisson and germer experiment. Very low mass particles moving at speed less than that of light behaves like a particle and wave. Class 12 class 11 class 10 class 9 class 8 class 7 class 6. Fundamentals of quantum mechanics deriving the rayleighjeans radiation. More specifically, we demonstrate that there is just one way, according to special relativity, to relate the finite energy and momentum of a corpuscle with the characteristics of a plane wave, frequency, wave vector and amplitude. But then, the wave nature of electromagnetic radiation is called into question when it is involved in blackbody radiation, photoelectric e. The reason for this is that particles are usually accelerated to some energy by an electric field.
Thus if matter exhibits wave properties, it must be given by equation 3. Sep 29, 2015 light and its nature have caused a lot of ink to flow during these last decades. I would atually say no, there is no difference, since the wavelength is purely mathematical characteristic of a wave, the distance over which the waves shape repeats. But then, the wave nature of electromagnetic radiation is called into question when it is involved in blackbody radiation, photoelectric e ect and such. The wavelength of a particle depends on its momentum, just like a photon. We know that also particles undergo scattering and interference at a double slit. Its not that this work was the most significant, but, this wavelength. There must be a correct way of deriving it for electrons etc. Aug 01, 2012 more specifically, we demonstrate that there is just one way, according to special relativity, to relate the finite energy and momentum of a corpuscle with the characteristics of a plane wave, frequency, wave vector and amplitude. For example, the phase of an em wave at some point is the same as at the lorentz transformed point. On substituting the energy on thermal neutron on wavelength of the neutron, we get, on applying the equipartition theorem and the ideal gas equation, we render to the derivation where the lambda is. Dual nature of radiation wave theory of electromagnetic radiation explained the phenomenon of interference, diffraction and polarisation.
In 1905, einstein suggested that light has a dual character, and behaves both as a particle and a wave. His conjecture of dual nature of matter was based on two points. Ncert chemistry class 11 unit 2 broglie relationship. Slideshare uses cookies to improve functionality and performance, and to provide you with relevant advertising. By rearranging the momentum equation stated in the above section, we find a relationship between the wavelength. Concepts on wavelength formula made easy videos by top iit jee teachers who. Mungan, spring 2009 in this brief note i show that the quantum length, equal to the cube root of the quantum volume which in turn is the reciprocal of the quantum concentration, given by. Chapter 41 wave mechanics national tsing hua university. The energy of a photon e photon as a consequence of plancks photoelectric effect. Derivation of photon momentum and the debroglie wavelength the newtonian expression for momentum p is given as p mv 1 where m is mass kg and v is velocity ms. But in the end one cannot derive this relationship. The em waves were entirely consistent with relativity. The derivation of schrodingers equation is not straight forward.
Phase velocity and group velocity for beginners in the first section of this paper i derive the formulas for the phase velocity and group velocity as a function of the total relativistic energy and the momentum of a particle. For an object to have a wavelength, it must be moving. It means when the matter is moving it shows the wave properties like interference, diffraction etc. On the other hand, photoelectric effect supported particles nature of light. This equation shows that wavelength depends upon mass and velocity of light i. The debroglie wavelength the lorentz transformation had been postulated for electromagnetic waves before einstein developed special relativity. Thus, every object in motion has a wavelike character. Light and its nature have caused a lot of ink to flow during these last decades. Now customize the name of a clipboard to store your clips.
