Today (August 15, 1892) is the Birthday of Louis de Broglie won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of dual properties of particles.

Today (August 15, 1892) is the Birthday of Louis de Broglie won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the dual properties of particles.

 

Louis de Broglie was born on August 15, 1892, in France. Sean-Maritime, the youngest son of Victor of Broglie, was born into a noble family in Dieppe. De Broglie aimed for a career in humanity and received his first degree in history. He then turned his attention to mathematics and physics and graduated with a degree in physics. After the outbreak of World War I in 1914, he provided his services to the military in the development of radio communications.

 

In the fields of physics and chemistry, wave-particle duality or wave-particle duality is the concept that all matter (i.e., all the electrons in the material) is wave-like and particle-like. This is the central concept of quantum mechanics, which seeks to explain the behavior of objects that cannot be fully explained by the concepts of wave and particle. Various interpretations of the quantum mechanism seek to clarify this paradoxical origin.

The concept of duality was formed in the 1600s based on the debates that took place when Christian Huygens and Isaac Newton proposed two opposing principles on light and matter. As a result of the research of Albert Einstein and Louis Broglie, modern scientific principles accept that all matter has both wave and particle properties. These phenomena are known to apply not only to elementary particles but also to composite particles such as atoms and molecules.

 

For his doctorate in 1924, Louis de Broglie studied the wave nature of electrons. De Broglie first outlined his concept of the dual nature of wave particles at the French Academy of Hypotheses. Not only light, but all matter is wave-like in nature. (λ = h / p; p - momentum, h - constant for plank)

Matter waves are also called procrastination waves and their wavelength is called the D-Broglie wavelength. This is the first step in the wave theory of objects. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1929 for his theory of De Broglie. In 1952 he was awarded the Kalinga Award. De Broglie passed away on March 19, 1987, at the age of 94 in Lausanne.
