Module 5 : MODERN PHYSICS
Lecture 26 : Wave Nature of Particle - the de Broglie Hypothesis
 
   Objectives
   In this course you will learn the following
Matter at very small length scale behave like waves.
de Broglie hypothesis associates a wavelength $= h/p$ with matter waves.
Electron diffraction from crystals which confirm wave nature of electrons.
Bohr's model of hydrogen atom and its relationship with matter waves.
Double slit experiments performed with electrons give results similar to Young's experiment for light.
Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
