The discussion centers on representing the wavelength of electrons using de Broglie's relation, specifically the equation λ = h/p, where λ is the wavelength, h is Planck's constant, and p is momentum. Participants emphasize that due to the uncertainty principle, the momentum of electrons cannot be precisely defined, leading to challenges in determining a single wavelength. The conversation explicitly excludes the Bohr model and focuses on the implications of Schrödinger's theory in quantum mechanics.
