deBroglie Wave Theory and Heisenberg Flashcards
1
Q
Louis de Broglie reasoned that
A
if light can behave like a stream of particles (photons), than electrons could exhibit wavelike properties
2
Q
According to deBroglie, electrons behave like
A
standing waves
3
Q
The particle and wave properties are related by the following expressio:
A
lambda = h/mu
- m = mass (kg)
- u = velocity (m/s)
4
Q
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
A
it is impossible to know simultaneously both the momentum and the position of a particle with certainty.
