de Broglie wavelength: λ = h/(m_n·v)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the neutron-physics subtree

The de Broglie 1924 matter-wave hypothesis assigns every massive particle of momentum p = m·v a quantum-mechanical wavelength λ = h/p = h/(m·v) where h is Planck's constant. For neutrons (m_n ≈ 1.675·10⁻²⁷ kg), thermal equilibrium at room…
