Question
Which scientist proposed that moving particles of matter exhibit wave-like properties?
Explanation
**De Broglie wavelength** λ = h/p = h/(m v) = h/√(2 m e V) for electron accelerated through V, for V=100 V λ= h/√(2 m e×100)=1.227/√V nm=0.1227 nm, for 50 V 0.173 nm, for particle mass 3.0×10⁻³⁰ kg v=10⁶ m/s λ=6.63×10⁻³⁴/(3×10⁻³⁰×10⁶)=2.21×10⁻¹⁰ m=0.221 nm, inversely proportional to momentum, property inversely proportional to de Broglie wavelength is momentum. Louis de Broglie proposed the wave-particle duality of matter, suggesting that particles like electrons have associated wavelengths ( λ = (h/p) ). Applying E = h f = h c/λ, p = h/λ, K_max = h f - Φ, Φ = h f₀ = h c/λ₀, λ = h/√(2
