The wave-frequency relationship is as follows:
f = v / [tex]\lambda[/tex]
Therefore:
v = [tex]\lambda[/tex] * f
The de Broglie relations are as follows:
[tex]\lambda[/tex] = h / p
f = E / h
Using some basic algebra:
v = (h / p) * (E / h)
v = E / p
v = [tex]\gamma[/tex]mc[tex]^{}2[/tex] / [tex]\gamma[/tex]mv
v = c[tex]^{}2[/tex] / v
Now, assuming a natural unit system with c=1
v = 1 / v
That doesn't seem to make sense. Where is my error?
