Definition

Proper noun: * Louis Victor de Broglie: A French physicist and aristocrat, a foundational figure in quantum mechanics. He is renowned for his revolutionary hypothesis that particles of matter, such as electrons, possess wave-like properties, thereby extending the concept of wave-particle duality beyond light.

Usage Examples
  • Proper noun:
    • The doctoral thesis of Louis Victor de Broglie introduced the concept of matter waves.
    • Louis Victor de Broglie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1929 for his discovery of the wave nature of electrons.
    • The de Broglie wavelength, named after Louis Victor de Broglie, is a fundamental concept in quantum physics.
Advanced Usage
  • "de Broglie hypothesis": The theoretical proposition, put forward by Louis Victor de Broglie, that any moving particle or object has an associated wave.
    • The de Broglie hypothesis was experimentally confirmed by the electron diffraction experiments of Davisson and Germer.
  • "de Broglie wave": Another term for a matter wave; the wave associated with a moving particle according to de Broglie's theory.
    • The electron's behavior in the double-slit experiment is explained by its de Broglie wave.
Variants and Related Words
  • de Broglie (noun): A common shortened reference to Louis Victor de Broglie, especially when used attributively.
    • The de Broglie wavelength is calculated using Planck's constant and the particle's momentum.
  • Broglian (adjective): Pertaining to or characteristic of the theories or work of Louis de Broglie.
    • The Broglian concept of pilot waves was an early interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Synonyms
  • Prince de Broglie: His formal aristocratic title, sometimes used in historical contexts.
  • 7th Duc de Broglie: His title as the seventh Duke of Broglie.
Related Terms and Concepts
  • Wave-particle duality: The central concept that de Broglie extended to matter.
  • Matter waves: The waves associated with material particles, as proposed by de Broglie.
  • de Broglie wavelength (λ = h/p): The specific formula quantifying the wavelength of a particle's matter wave, where is Planck's constant and is the particle's momentum.
Noun
  1. French nuclear physicist who generalized the wave-particle duality by proposing that particles of matter exhibit wavelike properties (1892-1987)
