The Formula for the De Broglie Wavelength of a Particle E=pcE = p \mathrm { c }

Question 27

Multiple Choice

The formula for the de Broglie wavelength of a particle follows readily from the relations between energy E and frequency for light, frequency and wavelength for waves, and the specific relation between energy E and momentum p given in the equation


A) E=pcE = p \mathrm { c } , for a photon.
B) E=p22mE = \frac { p ^ { 2 } } { 2 m } , for a Newtonian particle in motion.
C) E2=(pc) 2+(mc2) 2E ^ { 2 } = ( p c ) ^ { 2 } + \left( m c ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { 2 } , for a relativistic particle in motion.
D) E=mc2E = m \mathrm { c } ^ { 2 } , for a relativistic particle at rest.
