NCERT Chemistry Class 11 – Unit 2 – Louis.de Broglie Relationship NCERT Chemistry Class 11: In 1905, Einstein suggested that light has a dual character, and behaves both as a particle and a wave.Louis de Broglie, a French physicist,(1924) suggested that all material particles in motion such as electrons, protons, neutrons, atoms, molecules etc. have a dual character. According to Louis de Broglie, any moving electron in an atom is a material particle associated with wave properties and he compared electrons with the photons having negligible masses. The de Broglie equation relates a moving particle’s wavelength with its momentum. The de Broglie wavelength is the wavelength, λ, associated with a massive particle and is related to its momentum, p, through the Planck constant, h: In other words, we can say that matter also behaves like waves. De Broglie proposed that just as light has both wave-like and particle-like properties, electrons also have wave-like properties. By rearranging the momentum equation stated in the above section, we find a relationship between the wavelength associated with an electron and its momentum through the Planck constant. According to L. de Broglie, the wavelength λ of a particle of mass m and velocity u is given by the relation: λ = h/mu Where h is Planck’s constant and mu is the momentum of the particle.

Derivation of de Broglie’s equation The relation between the particle nature and wave nature of electron is known as de Broglie equation. According to Planck, the energy of a quantum of radiation is given by: E= hν…………………………….(1) According to Einstein, mass and energy are related as: E= mc2……………………………(2) Where c is the velocity of light Combining these two equations, we have: hν = mc2 orhν/c = mc…………………………………….. (3) Frequency, ν can be expressed in terms of wavelength, λ as, ν = c/λ or

λ =c/ν

or

1/λ = ν/c

Substituting the value of ν/c in equation or or

h/λ =mc λ= h/mc
