Answer:

In 1924, the French physicist, Louis de Broglie suggested that if light has electron, behaves both as a material particle and as a wave. According to this theory, small particles like electrons when in motion possess wave properties.

Step-by-step explanation:

examples

This can be derived as follows according to Planck’s equation, E = hv = hc /λ ∴ v=c/λ(energy of the photon (on the basis of Einstein’s mass energy relationship) E = mc2

( If Bohr’s theory is associated with de-Broglie’s equation then wave length of an electron can be determined in bohr’s orbit and relate it with circumference and multiply with a whole number 2πr = nλ or λ = (2πr/2π) From de-Broglie equation, λ = (h/mv).
