Electron Frequency Wave

Click For Summary

The de Broglie wavelength formula, L=h/p, relates the wavelength of an electron wave to its momentum. To calculate the frequency of the electron wave, the de Broglie frequency formula, f = E/h, can be utilized, where E represents the energy of the electron. Users discussed searching for the de Broglie frequency formula to find more information on this topic. The relationship between energy, momentum, and frequency in quantum mechanics is crucial for understanding electron behavior. This highlights the interconnectedness of wave-particle duality in quantum physics.

Thread 'One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics'

I am slowly going through the book 'What Is a Quantum Field Theory?' by Michel Talagrand. I came across the following quote: One does not" prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments. Although it may seem trite, it does fit in with my modelling view of QM. The more I think about it, the more I believe it could be saying something quite profound. For example, precisely what is the justification of...
