De Broglie Wavelength

In quantum mechanics, de Broglie wavelength is an important concept . The wavelength that is associated with an object in relation to its momentum and mass is known as de Broglie wavelength. A particle's de Broglie wavelength is usually inversely proportional to its force. It is said that matter has a dual nature of wave particles. de Broglie waves, named after the discoverer Louis de Broglie, is the property of a material object that varies in time or space while behaving similar to waves. It is also called matter waves. It holds great similarity to the dual nature of light which behaves as particle and wave, which has been proven experimentally. The physicist Louis de Broglie suggested that particles might have both wave properties and particle properties. The wave nature of electrons was also detected experimentally to substantiate the suggestion of Louis de Broglie. The objects which we see in day to day life have wavelengths which are very small and invisible, hence, we do not experience them as waves. However, de Broglie wavelengths are quite visible in the case of subatomic particles. In the case of electrons going in circles around the nuclei in atoms, the de Broglie waves exist as a closed loop, such that they can exist only as standing waves, and fit evenly around the loop. Because of this requirement, the electrons in atoms circle the nucleus in particular configurations, or states, which are called stationary orbits.
