Oh, so the formula is based off of observations and experiments, not derived from pre-existing formulas? What I'm asking is, is there any way to make sense of it mathematically, even if not a derivation?(maybe derive it from formulas found later), or is it simply a model to fit our observations?

I understand. Do you know of any way to derive the equation then? I've looked all over the internet and all the derivations are simple and wrong(most of them use E=hf and E=mc^2 in conjunction). Also, regarding vp=f*lambda, why wouldn't it be the same as kinetic velocity? If the wavelength, a...

I'm confused on how De Broglie's hypothesis works. I've attached my thinking in a pdf file below. I'm not an expert in the field of particle physics(I'm only in high school), so there may be some error in my logic(I really think so, or else De Broglie was wrong!(hint:he isn't)) I've also read...

Hello! I'm excited to be in this forum. My name is Daniel, I'm a high school senior who loves physics. I plan on majoring on Aerospace Engineering(maybe a double major or a minor in physics, but not sure yet), and my dream school is Stanford. I'm mainly planning to use this forum in asking about...
