Explain de Broglie's hypothesis and its relationship to Planck's quantum theory of radiation, Einstein's theory of relativity, and the momentum of a photon.

De Broglie's hypothesis states that all moving particles have an associated wave, with a wavelength given by the equation λ = h / p, where h is Planck's constant and p is the momentum of the particle. This idea is related to Planck's quantum theory of radiation through the energy equation E = hν, where E is the energy of a photon, h is Planck's constant, and ν is the frequency of radiation. It is also related to Einstein's theory of relativity through the equation E = mc^2, where E is the energy equivalence of mass m and c is the velocity of light. Furthermore, the momentum of a photon is given by p = E / c, which relates to de Broglie's wavelength equation.

What is the relationship between de Broglie's wavelength and the kinetic energy of a particle?

The de Broglie wavelength of a particle with mass m and velocity v is given by the equation λ = h / mv. In terms of kinetic energy, the wavelength can also be expressed as λ = h / √(2mE), where E is the kinetic energy of the particle.

What did de Broglie postulate about a free particle with rest mass moving at non-relativistic speed?

De Broglie postulated that a free particle with rest mass m' moving with non-relativistic speed v' has a wave associated with it, and the wavelength of this wave is given by λ = h / p, where h is Planck's constant and p is the momentum of the particle.

What fundamental symmetry did de Broglie propose in 1924, and how did it relate to the wavelength of radiation and material particles?

In 1924, de Broglie proposed the fundamental symmetry that the wavelength of radiation is related to the momentum of a photon through Planck's constant, and this relationship must hold true for material particles as well, as expressed by the equation λ = h / p.

How does de Broglie's consideration of the dynamics of a particle relate to the wave associated with a moving particle and its momentum?

De Broglie considered the dynamics of a particle and stated that the wave associated with a moving particle, having a momentum mv, is related to Planck's constant and must follow the equation λ = h / p, where h is Planck's constant and p is the momentum of the particle.
